The ban on drinking alcohol on the streets and the ban on the sale of alcohol in shops and tourist areas in the Balearic Islands were not well received by British tourists. These measures were introduced to prevent excessive drinking and distraction, but the British press writes that this is only for tourism in Mallorca and Ibiza.
he is ban alcohol on the street has been tight since last Saturday, May 11, 2024, in famous party destinations such as Magaluf in Mallorca and Sant Antoni in Ibiza. The fines for drinking alcohol on the street have been increased to 500 to 1,500 euros.
Shops are now not allowed to sell alcoholic beverages between 9:30pm and 8:00am. This applies to all types of alcohol, including beer and wine. Party boats may not go closer than 1.8 kilometers to the coast of popular party areas. It is also prohibited to pick up or drop off passengers within these areas.
The new measures have not been well received by British tourists traveling to the Balearic Islands for holidays. British newspapers have given much attention to the complaints of tourists. British tourists consider the measures superfluous and unnecessary. They argue that they come on holiday for fun and relaxation, and that banning alcohol spoils the atmosphere.
Some British tourists fear the new measures will ruin their holiday plans. They worry that they can no longer get drunk on the street or party on a party boat.
However, the police report that the new measures are yielding good results. There are fewer reports of disturbance and the number of arrests has decreased. Residents of the affected areas are also satisfied with the new measures. They say that the streets are now quieter and that they get less disturbance from tourists.
However, British tourists believe that the measures are counterproductive. They argue that the measures will hinder tourism and the economy will suffer as a result.
