Answer

Is rural tourism in Mallorca still sustainable in the long run?

Rural tourism in Mallorca can remain viable, but only if water use, transport, and land management are handled more carefully. The main risk is that scattered holiday homes place repeated pressure on resources and local infrastructure that were not designed for that level of use. Without clearer rules and better monitoring, the model becomes harder to sustain over time.
