The government of the Balearic Islands, including the popular Mallorca and Ibiza, plans to introduce strict rules for tourists who abuse alcohol and violate public order. Several restrictions and sanctions are presented to control the antisocial behavior of tourists.

Legislators plan to give antisocial tourists a warning, and in cases of systematic violation, send them back home and even limit their future arrivals to the islands.

Tourists who break the law and engage in antisocial behavior can be subject to fines, including large sums of money. For example, tourists who jump from hotel balconies can be fined up to 57 thousand euros. Such tourists will be blacklisted depending on the violations they have committed and this may affect their future visits to the Balearic Islands.

The law also provides for restrictions on the amount of alcohol served to tourists in all-inclusive hotels.

Areas such as Magaluf in Mallorca and San Antonio's West End in Ibiza have already introduced bans on visiting pubs and alcohol promotions to control anti-social behaviour.

These measures are aimed at maintaining public order and reducing the negative impact of antisocial tourist behavior on the islands of Mallorca and Ibiza. They also respond to previous incidents of violations and antisocial behavior among vacationers at these popular tourist destinations.
