'We must be very careful'? A reality check on Mallorca's tourism debate

Answer

Is Mallorca’s tourism stabilizing, and what does that mean for residents?

Tourism in Mallorca appears to be stabilizing, with visitor numbers rising slightly and higher spending per guest, but that doesn’t automatically improve everyday life. The average length of stay is down and pressure on housing, transport, and public spaces remains. Stabilization is a starting point, not a complete solution, and targeted measures are needed to ease daily burdens while preserving the island’s character.
