throughout the Balearic Islands, with fines of up to \u00a350,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The regional government also banned the sale of alcohol in shops between 9.30pm and 8am, as well as pub crawls, two-for-one drinks offers and happy hours at certain spots in Magaluf, El Arenal and Playa de Palma in Mallorca.<\/p>\n<p>Announcing the laws in 2020, a regional government spokesman said: &#8216;Efforts to promote the destination, to provide it with better quality through both public and private sector investments, and position it in an increasingly competitive and global market, have been affected recently by certain uncivic behaviour.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Most of this type of behaviour is directly related to alcohol abuse in certain tourist areas of Majorca and Ibiza.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The regional government in 2020 also suspended the concession of new &#8216;party boat&#8217; licences, with boats that were already licensed banned from embarking or disembarking tourists in the areas covered by a government decree.<\/p>\n<p>The decree also covered the popular British tourist hotspot West End in Ibiza and S\u2019Arenal near Palma favoured by Germans and Dutch holidaymakers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month a firm offering British holidaymakers illegal booze cruises in Magaluf was hit with a near-\u00a3140,000 fine levied under the same decree.<\/p>\n<p>Council chiefs responsible for the Majorcan party resort said company bosses were caught &#8216;red-handed&#8217;
