Airbnb U-turn in Mallorca: What happens when thousands of holiday beds disappear?

Answer

What does the crackdown on holiday rentals mean for Palma’s tourism scene?

In Palma, the change may be noticeable in smaller ways first, such as fewer suitcases in certain streets and less turnover in some apartment buildings. Tourism will not disappear, but the mix of accommodation may shift toward more regulated options. Businesses that depend on visitor volume could feel the change during peak season.
