Answer

Can a business in Palma's Old Town survive by selling mostly to tourists?

It is possible, but risky. Tourist demand in Palma can be strong, yet it changes with the season and often favours shops that also attract local repeat customers or offer more than a quick stop. Businesses that rely only on visitors usually need a careful cost structure and extra revenue streams to stay stable.
