Answer

Will a digital registry solve Mallorca’s holiday rental problems?

A digital registry could help by organising data and making it easier to compare what is on the market with what is legally registered. But it will not solve the problem on its own, because enforcement depends on staff, legal clarity and cooperation between institutions. Without that, the result could be another layer of bureaucracy rather than a real fix.
