Before Mass Protest: Government Expresses Understanding — but Solutions Remain Vague

Answer

How could Mallorca limit new tourist beds while supporting local communities?

A transparent moratorium tied to clear indicators (water consumption, waste, traffic) could pause new beds temporarily. A binding cap on beds per municipality, with compensation payments for communities choosing quality over quantity, is also proposed. Social protections, retraining, and local support would accompany any transition.
