Answer

Does tourism in Mallorca pay for the extra cleaning and security after big nightlife events?

Often those costs are not fully covered by the promoters alone, which is why local authorities and residents may end up carrying part of the burden. Some people argue that a share of event income or a tourism levy should go directly into cleaning and security funds.
