Answer

How should Mallorca’s tourist taxes be used in Palma?

A practical approach would be to reinvest a clear share of tourist tax revenue into services residents can feel every day. That could include transport, waste disposal, street maintenance, schools and social projects. The key issue in Palma is not only how much money comes in, but whether the spending is transparent and visible locally.
