Residents have complained of “unstoppable” tourists “setting fire to beach parasols, “breaking litter bins” and “fighting”.
Playa de Palma is covered by new tourism drinking laws – introduced in 2020- meaning that tourists at all-inclusives are limited to a certain amount of alcohol and new party boats are unable to acquire licences, however this doesn’t seem to be stemming tourist’s drunken antics.
Shops have to stop selling alcohol after a certain time and bars won’t be able to offer all-you-can-drink deals ,while holidaymakers at Thomas Cook resorts in affected areas are subject to a six drink maximum.
Holidaymakers could face heavy fines for breaking drinking laws in the Balearics, with penalties reaching up to €30,000, though this doesn’t seem to be curbing behaviour.
