British holidaymakers who come to Mallorca are confused and are caught up in the laws on all-inclusive limits for alcoholic beverages in hotels in certain areas such as Playa de Palma and Magalluf and Sant Antoni in Ibiza. Mallorca and Ibiza are known by many as destinations for alcohol tourism, but with the introduction of new legislation in 2020, it is only now that the crackdown on excessive alcohol consumption by holidaymakers is being enforced. These three resorts are considered by the Balearic government as hot spots and want to put an end to anti-social behavior attributed to excessive alcohol consumption. A number of holidaymakers have already complained, prompting Thomas Cook to issue a statement recommending its customers. The new laws aim to combat anti-social behaviour by people on holiday. Strict new laws aimed at reducing alcohol consumption have been introduced in parts of the Spanish Balearic Islands – limiting the number of drinks Announcing the new laws in 2020, a regional government spokesperson said: « Efforts to promote the destination, provide it with better quality through public and private sector investments and position it in an increasingly competitive and global market, have recently been affected by some uncivic behaviour. The crackdown on excessive alcohol consumption in the Spanish Balearic Islands has led to the imposition of restrictions on holidaymakers. Some areas of the islands of Ibiza and Mallorca, which often attract all-inclusive package holidaymakers, have introduced restrictions on alcohol consumption. The Balearic Islands, which include Mallorca and Ibiza, crack down on alcohol consumption and anti-social behaviour.

This report was picked up by the respected national press, the daily Express and the Post Office. The comment sections largely support alcohol controls, which may come as a surprise to many. It seems that the mood is supported by excessive alcohol consumption, perhaps some meaning can be applied to the night economy of the British city, but I doubt it, although we can live in hope. The new alcohol law applies to the popular resorts of San Antoni de Portmany, Magaluf, El Arenal and Playa de Palma. This also affects the all-inclusive resorts on both islands. I don`t know where the MDB got this story from, but surprise surprise on Yahoo this morning an article from the respected Lancashire Telegraph with a bloody story about this story and its expectations for all-inclusives. Zoltan may be right, and Roger certainly is. People need to know what the offer is in big, clear letters so they can make a choice or go somewhere else. In the 80`s we were in Cala Vinas as a young couple My memory of Magaluf was a family resort with table service and a number of Sol hotels.But that was when Tito was a classy nightclub. Magaluf`s infrastructure is now the wisely named gang full of drinking establishments and large groups of the same sex and shady sweets selling their wares. What you would do with Magaluf now to return to family use or market visitors would need a war bullet The neon-lit stripes of Magaluf, Arenal de Palma and Sant Antoni de Portmany are popular with young holidaymakers from the UK, Germany and Ireland. In recent years, however, they have become overly inclusive for antisocial behavior, binge drinking, and teen excess.

It is hoped that the new laws will help resorts revamp their festive image and improve the well-being of residents and tourists. To limit the amount of excessive alcohol consumption on the islands, the day is divided into a « lunch schedule » and an « evening schedule », with three drinks per person allowed for this period. To combat excessive alcohol consumption in Spain`s Balearic Islands, the local government has enforced new laws that tackle public drunkenness by limiting Britons to just six drinks a day. I support Roger. But would go even further. Isn`t there a danger that antisocial tourists who drink a lot will move to other resorts? Would a general ban not be desirable? However, new rules that tackle excessive alcohol consumption and disorderly behaviour on the islands make this more difficult as authorities try to change the image and tourism pattern of the Balearic Islands. Britons travelling to these destinations this summer are advised to take note of the new rules to avoid confusion. « Some of the measures introduced by the Balearic Islands authorities to curb anti-social behaviour may confuse UK holidaymakers, so we welcome the authorities` recent clarification, including the fact that restrictions only apply to certain limited areas of Mallorca and Ibiza and not to the whole Balearic Islands as originally proposed.

According to the legislation, institutions that do not comply with the rules are liable to heavy fines. Government legislation provides for fines ranging from €1,000 to €600,000 and the possibility of shutting down illegal installations for up to three years. Tour operators, airlines and the UK Foreign Office will raise awareness of the changes in the coming months, as travel restrictions will be lifted from 11 February 2022. « ABTA will continue to work with the Government of the Balearic Islands, ABTA members and other parties to promote clear communication and information sharing to ensure that holidaymakers travelling to hotels in designated areas have a positive guest experience. » Pub crawls and party boats, which were previously banned, date and remain so. The new rules also include a ban on « balconing » or jumping between balconies or from a balcony in a pool. Those who break the rules could pay hefty fines. These can reach thousands, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of euros, depending on the crime that was committed and who committed it. Food prices in Spain saw record increases in October, keeping the cost of living painfully high, even as falling energy costs led to lower inflation, according to official data released Tuesday.
