Answer

How can airports in Mallorca reduce theft in duty-free areas?

Duty-free zones in Mallorca's airports can be vulnerable to theft. Increasing visibility with better camera angles and clear sightlines, improving staff training on observation and intervention, and fostering regular cooperation between shop operators, airport security, and the Guardia Civil can help deter crimes. These steps create a quicker, calmer response to suspicious behavior without disrupting travelers.
