Vacation Rentals on the Rise: How Mallorca Can Balance Daily Life and Guests

Answer

Are vacation rentals in Mallorca good for local businesses?

Yes, they can be. Guests staying in rentals often shop at local bakeries, small supermarkets, and market halls instead of relying only on hotel services. That can bring more custom to neighborhood businesses in places like Palma and Sóller, although the wider impact still depends on how tourism is managed.
