Palma markets itself in the USA — but who is the city really for?

Answer

What safeguards are proposed to ensure tourism growth doesn't harm Palma's residents?

The proposals include targeted limits on low-season activities, clear success criteria with public metrics, reinvesting revenues into affordable housing and transport, coordinating with the airport and airlines on capacity and environmental standards, and protecting the local housing supply from unchecked conversions. Campaigns should be measured and accountable to avoid simply boosting spending without relief for residents. These ideas aim to balance growth with livability.
