Answer

What can Mallorca do to reduce problems in Playa de Palma?

Possible steps include clearer rules for street vending, better cleaning and waste collection, and stronger coordination between hotels, event organisers, and the municipality. Longer-term planning is also needed so that tourism income does not come at the expense of residents and seasonal workers in Mallorca. The aim is a more balanced nightlife area, not just stricter gates or higher prices.
