Vouchers for Small Shops: Short-Term Boost or Band-Aid?

Answer

Are Mallorca shop vouchers enough to help small businesses?

They can bring a short-term sales boost, especially on quieter days in places like Palma’s old town or Santa Catalina. But vouchers do not solve the deeper problems many small retailers face, such as rising rents, online competition and staff shortages. For lasting support, Mallorca would need longer-term business measures as well.
