Answer

Will the new waterfront businesses in Palma be more local or more tourist-focused?

That depends on how the concession rules are written and who can afford to bid. If rents stay high and rebuilding costs remain significant, larger investors usually have an advantage. If the tender includes social clauses or support for local operators, there is a better chance of seeing businesses with stronger ties to Palma and Mallorca.
