Palma Wants to Stop New Holiday Rentals — A Reality Check

Answer

What measures could help Palma balance tourism and housing better?

Possible steps include a public register of licence numbers, more inspection staff, and incentives for owners who switch to long-term renting. Support for affordable housing and coordination with nearby municipalities could also help. The strongest approach is usually a mix of transparency, enforcement and housing policy rather than a single ban.
