Drunk British tourists who engage in anti-social behavior could be sent home and banned from returning to Ibiza, according to plans being considered by local officials.<\/p>\n
As per the local governments in the Mediterranean archipelago, which includes Majorca and Ibiza, tourism policies have been reevaluated in order to crack down on tourists committing crimes and anti-social behavior. Under a collection of new measures, tourists could be blacklisted from hotspots across the Balearic Islands if they break the rules.<\/p>\n
Back in 2022, some parts of the Balearic Islands introduced new regulations as part of a drive to curb the anti-social behavior of rowdy tourists; these rules included a ban on happy hours, free bars, advertising pub crawls, and two-for-one drink parties.<\/p>\n
Additionally, the act of “balconing” — or jumping between or from balconies into swimming pools — was also banned. Following this, the government’s official bulletin on the matter stated that anyone caught breaking the rules will be “expelled with immediate effect.”<\/p>\n
New licenses for boat parties have also been implemented in the past, while shops selling alcohol were ordered to close between 9:30 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. or risk hefty fines or possible closure.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, this latest move from the Island of Ibiza follows a recently-presented campaign from the City of Amsterdam, who launched a video warning young British men to “stay away” if they were just looking to drink and take drugs when they visit.<\/p>\n
