Magaluf mayhem explodes as figures reveal number of boozy Brits kicked out of hotels for debauched behaviour DOUBLES in a year
A staggering 1,257 badly behaved hotel guests have been shown the door in Magaluf and Palmanova since 2010
THE number of badly behaved Brits sent packing from Magaluf hotels has DOUBLED in a year.
Boozed-up tourists booted out of Majorcan resorts rocketed in June compared to the same month last year.
The Palmanova-Magaluf Hotel Association today said 94 per cent of the offenders were British and virtually all had been kicked out of hotels in Magaluf and the neighbouring resort of Palmanova.
It said the number of people shown the red card in the association’s hotels in the two resorts so far this year was now 73.
The tally takes the total number of hotel guests expelled from establishments in Magaluf and Palmanova since 2010 to a staggering 1257.
Last month 47 holidaymakers were asked to leave the place they were staying - double the amount in June last year (24).
Many holidaymakers posed for raunchy photographs to post on Instagram while partying in Magaluf during that time.
No photos shown here are of Brits known to have been kicked out of hotels for their behaviour.
Association president Sebastian Darder said the only year when the percentage of Brits kicked out has dipped below 80 per cent was in 2015 when they made up 75 per cent of the 116 people asked to leave.
Even then Brits topped the list of shame, as they have every year since 2010 when expulsions began.
Mr Darder insisted last night the message was clear: “We want young tourism but not drunk tourism.
“Hooligans have no place here in Magaluf and Palmanova.”
Some of the holidaymakers asked to leave were accused of assaulting or insulting staff and others for throwing bottles into the street from their hotel room.
There were also instances of tourists jumping from their balconies, destroying furniture in their rooms, and in one case assaulting their partner.
Police were called in several cases to make sure they left peacefully and arrest them where assaults had taken place.
Mr Darder said: “We spoke to British diplomats and the tour-operators before we started expelling people in 2010.
“Where people who have come with tour-operators are asked to leave, the tour-operators are left with the responsibility of finding them somewhere else.
“Where they have come on their own, then they are on their own and are refused entry into any of the hotels in the association.”
Alfonso Rodriguez Badal, mayor of Calvia which covers Magaluf, telephoned Mr Darder last month to ask him to ensure two Brits filmed beating up another in a horrific attack outside their holiday apartment were kicked out of their establishment.
The attack led to another British holidaymaker risking his life by walking along the edge of his balcony in a bid to escape the violence and call for help.
The local hotel association were unable to act because the apartment block where the incident happened, the Coconut Apartments, is not a member.
But Mr Darder said today he understood the two men, thought to be facing an ongoing court probe, had left Majorca a few days later and returned to the UK.
The troublemakers whose expulsions put Britain at the top of the list of shame are nearly always men aged between 18 and 25.
The Palmanova-Magaluf Hotel Association cover nearly 29,000 hotel beds in the two resorts, working out at 78 per cent of the area’s hotels.
Irish nationals are also said to be among the other main offenders after the Brits.
The Calvia Council leader last month told the British tourists hurting his town hall’s attempts to improve Magaluf's image: “We don’t want you here” and called on party bars to do away with happy hours.
Mr Badal said the idea that the worst tourist is "the one that doesn’t come" needed to be consigned to history.
And he called on bar owners in areas like Magaluf party strip Punta Ballena to stop offering alcohol at knockdown prices and commit to ongoing efforts to reconvert the holiday hotspot.
His comments came after a string of incidents involving British tourists which have threatened to derail attempts to distance Magaluf from its traditional Shagaluf nickname, including an ugly street fight between English and Scottish hooligan football fans.
