Party boats that sell alcohol on board will also be prohibited to be within one nautical mile of the areas included in the decree.
The original 22-article decree introduced in 2020 was sparked by media reports of “uncivil behavior in certain tourist areas” of Mallorca and Ibiza, attributed in large part to alcohol consumption.
That behavior had damaged the image of the destinations and given rise to a nightlife scene that diminished the areas for residents.
The decree outlined measures for tourist accommodations, the sale and advertising of alcoholic beverages, sanctions and other measures to curb dangerous or disruptive behavior.
The newly modified Responsible Tourism Decree allocates 16 million euros (about $17.2 million) from a sustainable tourism tax to help the affected areas finance projects to encourage responsible tourism.
