Following the introduction of new rules to clean up the drunken image of Spanish party town Magaluf, a number of establishments in the Valencian Community are suggesting that many of the measures they have brought in are too draconian and not necessary on the Costa Blanca.
Hosbec, the association which represents over 200 hoteliers in the region, has said that it has negotiated the inclusion of a clause with the Ministry of Tourism, which allows Costa Blanca’s establishments to impose their own internal rules against disruptive clients, as and when they are necessary, particularly in areas that are private, such as function rooms, swimming pools, gymnasiums or other such locales, enabling them to regulate their own quality standards.
Hosbec President Antoni Mayor says that Benidorm registers 11 million overnight stays per year and while there are some "extreme cases" that require some “extreme measures” they can be dealt with "in different ways”.
It is not necessary to impose blanket bans on such matters as the consumption of alcohol outdoors. In the event of unruly behavior brought about by drunkenness such individuals can usually be dealt with on a local basis.
Unfortunately ‘brand Magaluf’ is being destroyed as a tourist destination by the images of drunken teenagers appearing in the media.
Fortunately this is not the case in this part of Spain, so as long as hoteliers are sensible with their treatment of the holidaying public, the Costa Blanca will continue to be the number one holiday destination for many millions of Europeans.
