A proposal was raised at the European Commission this week following a series of incidents involving alcohol.
Local authorities in the Balearic Islands in Spain – which include Majorca, Minorca and Ibiza – have called for a limit to be imposed on drinking alcohol on planes arriving on the islands and in airports in an effort to reduce anti-social behaviour.
According to the BBC, Pilar Carbonell, head of tourism across the islands, raised the proposal in Brussels on Tuesday in the hope that measures would be adopted by Spain and the European Commission to crack down on anti-social behaviour in one of the most popular tourists destinations in Europe.
The proposal comes after a series of much-publicised incidents involving alcohol and tourists travelling to the Balearic Islands, including
the arrest of three members of a stag party who were arrested after fighting on a Ryanair flight to Majorca from Manchester earlier this year.
Magaluf, a holiday resort on the island of Majorca, introduced sound restrictions in a similar effort to curb anti-social behaviour earlier this year, restrictions which followed on from a series of rules introduced in 2015 in an attempt to change the raucous reputation that has been associated with the resort over the years.
