Mallorca Under Pressure: Housing, Tourist Influx and the Question of Limits

Answer

What practical steps could Mallorca take to ease housing pressure?

Practical steps include enforcing long-term use protections by linking major new holiday lets to a quota for permanent social housing. It also calls for a transparent data basis to guide targeted restrictions, and fiscal measures that balance incentives toward long-term tenants. Because pressure varies by region, rules should be tailored to each area.
