Holiday hotspots set to introduce new drinking ‘rule’ at all-inclusive resorts that will impact Brits

The party's over... sort of

Parts of Spain are introducing new drinking rules in the hopes of avoiding the rowdy behaviour that comes with boozed up tourists.

According to the Mirror, guests staying in all-inclusive resorts in Majorca's Magaluf, Playa de Palma or El Arenal, as well as the west end of San Antonio in Ibiza, will be given a limit on the number of drinks they can purchase.

There will be a six drink limit on tourists in the all inclusive resorts, split across three drinks during lunch and three in the evening.

Beyond the six drink limit, shops in the area will also be banned from selling alcohol between 9:30pm at night and 8am the following morning, meaning that boozed up Brits looking for a night of getting sloshed will find their sources of alcohol hard to come by.

Other alcohol promoting activities such as pub crawls and happy hours have also been scuppered.

The restrictions currently only apply to a limited number of spots in the Balearic Isles, as other parts of the islands don't carry the same restrictions.

CW Real Estate Ibiza CEO Christian Wolf said of the new rule: "Although binge drinking may be common practice in many countries, people in Spain like to take their time with drinking.

"It's important to enjoy yourself, but drinking to excess can lead to public disturbances, property damage, and strained relationships with the locals.

"Time will tell if this rule will be effective, and if more establishments will enforce it or if it simply fizzles out."

Spain's relationship with tourism is both profitable and problematic, as many parts of the country with a reputation for being lovely places to visit have grown tired of drunken tourists and the problems they cause.

The Brits have a bit of a reputation for being rowdy travellers and may sometimes be called 'guiri' by locals, which is really not a term of endearment.

A number of protests have told tourists to 'go home' due to them clogging up the place and generally being a nuisance while they visit.

Tourist hotspots have a high cost of living for the locals who are starting to feel priced out of some of the most desirable parts of their country to be in.

Some have taken to spraying holidaymakers with water pistols to make their point.

While there's been condemnation of 'bad tourism' and Tenerife is planning to introduce a 'tourist tax', some spots are now trying to entice more people to come after seeing a costly drop in the number of visitors.
