Answer

How can Mallorca balance tourism and residents during busy seasons?

Towns can combine traffic and parking controls with housing protections. This includes park-and-ride systems with shuttle buses, time restrictions on through traffic at peak times, and resident parking permits to limit short-term tourist parking. Using data and coordinating regionally helps target these measures effectively.
