Only three shopping-open holidays in December: Who really benefits?

Answer

Why do some people in Mallorca want more shopping-open holidays in December?

Supporters of more opening days say they could bring more customers into Palma’s city centre during the Christmas period and help brick-and-mortar shops compete with online retailers. The idea is that extra holiday openings may create more foot traffic and sales at a time when people are already shopping for gifts.
