Answer

What could Palma do to make luxury tourism more socially sustainable?

A more balanced approach would link tourism revenue more directly to local needs. That could include using tourist taxes for social housing, requiring affordable housing in major developments and improving pay and contracts in hospitality. Clear local data on rents, jobs and living costs would also help decision-makers act before neighbourhoods tip too far.
