In the Rhythm of the Night: Who Really Benefits from Mallorca's Tourism?

Answer

Why are rents so high in Mallorca’s tourist areas?

In popular parts of Mallorca, housing demand is driven up by tourism, especially near the coast and in areas attractive to short-term visitors and investors. That can make it harder for local families and workers to stay close to their jobs. As rents rise, some people move farther away and face longer commutes.
