Spain’s tourism industry is trying to shake off its reputation as the “party capital of Europe” by imposing new fines on vacationers. The list of restrictions drew attention to the Daily Mail.
Thus, the Spanish region of the Costa del Sol announced that it would stop holding “scandalous” hen and stag parties – for this, tourist apartments and hotels are planned to be equipped with noise monitoring devices. The authorities of the Balearic Islands, which includes the famous Ibiza and Mallorca, have limited the number of free alcoholic drinks in all-inclusive hotels to six per day per person. In addition, some provinces have banned the sale of alcohol at night and promotions in bars.
In addition, from July, popular resorts in Spain will begin to punish tourists who grab sunbeds with towels – a monetary penalty of 25 pounds. Travelers who decide to fall asleep on the beach in Valencia also face fines of £1,300. Walking in a bikini along the city streets will also be stopped – 250 pounds sterling and defecation at sea – 645 pounds sterling.
It is noted that Spain annually attracts a “disproportionately large” number of British tourists to its resorts.
