Crackdown on alcohol-fuelled holidays in Spain

MADRID: Spain’s Balearic Islands have passed a law banning pub hopping and happy hours in three popular tourist destinations in a bid to crackdown on alcohol-fuelled holidays, the media reported on Saturday. The measures adopted on Friday apply to the tourist hotspots of Playa de Palma and Magaluf in Majorca and Sant Antoni in Ibiza, the BBC reported. The new law includes a string of measures aimed at cracking down on so-called “booze tourism”, where visitors are encouraged to binge drink. Organized pub-hopping can no longer be advertised or held in Playa de Palma, Magaluf or Ibiza’s West End. (IANS)
