Answer

Why is Mallorca’s housing market under pressure from tourism?

Tourism supports many jobs in Mallorca, but housing pressure grows when flats are used as second homes or for short-term rentals instead of long-term living. That reduces the supply available to local families, seasonal workers and young people, while pushing rents higher. The problem is not tourism alone, but the way some properties are owned and used.
