It sounds like stereotypical British entitlement. We'd object if foreigners came to England and did that. But it should be perfectly ok for us to do it. And if you don't let us, we'll just find another cheap place to booze ourselves into oblivion. And then you'll be sorry, because you need us more than we need you (famous last words).
In the same way as the obvious demands for holidays based on how can I say partying. I fear, as Fred implies many vested interests in the supply businesses and those who prosper from shear tourists volume and the what I will call the 18 to 30s market. Will no doubt resist change. Much of the Palma bay volume tourism resorts are dependant on the party tourist. Infrastructure is geared there. The disruption to island tourism income will be considerable during the lower volume higher quality market. Political will and nerve will be needed to achieve that desired change.
This is a good step. Mallorca tourism has reached a critical point. It needs to act now to stop damaging to the very things that valuable tourists want. For example, there are too many hire cars choking the attractive areas that cannot handle the congestion. The island must not stop being associated with the worst excesses of tourism. That era has ended.
Unfortunately Roger there is people who want this type of holiday and I agree fully with your comments. Zoltan, I like a drink as much as the next man and on occasion the man next to him, but no we are all not drunks, but some people can’t limit themselves and the whole holiday is based on drinking. I don’t know why they don’t just get a tesco delivery and lock the door at home for as much foreign experience they get. Sad story in the press today in Cyprus young mother killed on road crossing by young drunk in golf buggy The excess behaviour impacts all very seriously. As for all inclusive I have used the sandals offer and it’s up market and very professional. Many of European offers are not as Fred says they are damaging
Unless you have a problem with alcohol isn't 6 drinks enough? And are all British people drunks or maybe it's just a certain type of British tourist that the local government doesn't want. And there is no law stopping tourists actually leaving their hotel complex and going to a bar to get more drinks if they want to. Though they might have to interact with some 'foreign' people to do this.
Why anyone should want to base their holiday around how much alcohol they can drink (and how sunburnt they can get) is a sad reflection on UK and Irish citizens (I am one even though I have not lived in UK for over 30 years now)...If this is the type of customer that the Balearics is attracting then there are many questions that must be answered internally...and externally, it appears as if the only solution is to deny access to operators and individuals that have such a mindset.
They not dropped the price of the holiday to equal the amount of money they will be saving I bet? and most hotels have a starting time and a cut of time any way and as for it effected local bars is total rubbish I had a bar and my bar was always full and if restaurants gave families a fair price meal like they do for locals one bar I know in Menorca charges tourist 5 euro a head more on each meal and 50c on each drink and as the summer months come in they put there price up to summer prices my price stayed the same and I put on family meal at a competitive price that every one can afford Spanish don't not like fair competition you always have bigger bar bullying the smaller ones
