Answer

Are long concession contracts on Mallorca a good idea?

Long concession periods can provide stability, but they can also lock in a concept for years even if the area’s needs change. On Mallorca’s waterfront, that can be a problem if the operator does not deliver the mix of local use, quality and seasonal balance the city wants. Shorter trial periods are often seen as a way to test an idea before committing for the long term.
