More revenue, fewer Germans: Who really benefits from the Balearic boom?

Answer

Does more tourism revenue in Mallorca help local workers too?

Not automatically. More revenue can create demand for hospitality staff and related services, but the benefit depends on wages, contracts and whether jobs are stable. Without better pay and training, the extra money may stay with owners and management rather than reaching many employees in Mallorca.
