Palma Bets on Canada and Abu Dhabi — How Many Visitors Can the City Still Handle?

Answer

What problems can more visitors create for towns around Palma, not just the city centre?

Neighbouring towns can face more waste, water use, traffic, and bus congestion even if the visitors do not stay in Palma itself. That often means the costs of tourism spread across the area, while the financial benefits do not always spread evenly. This is why local infrastructure funding matters beyond the city centre.
