MAGALUF bosses called an international summit to stop boozy Brits from turning the resorts into holiday hellholes.
UK and German tour operators, the British Embassy, the Spanish Tourism Bureau in London and hoteliers were all invited to the crackdown meeting.
The Government of the Balearic Islands wants to put an end to bad behaviour and violence, especially from the Brits who flock to the resort each summer.
So officials organised the summit – which took place in Palma on Wednesday - to debate proposed policy changes for the resorts and airlines.
“Excessive alcohol intake by air passengers has economic, medical and welfare ramifications, and is identified as a top three risk to aviation safety,” the event description states.
“Incidents on airplanes may in the worst scenarios endanger the lives of many.
“Apart from the nuisance incurred to the other passengers, drunkenness on airplanes causes flights to be diverted, distracts the cabin crew from their normal safety duties and implies a hazard in emergency evacuations.
“Thus, excessive alcohol consumption seems to be continuing beyond the flight itself, causing anti-social behaviour and danger to tourists’ health.
“In this sense, dangerous practices and uncivil behaviour appear in some tourist destinations.”
A proposed ban on free-flowing alcohol in all-inclusive hotels in Majorca and Ibiza was just one of the topics up for discussion.
The summit comes just months after a ban was put on booze cruises and pub crawls in Magaluf.
Last year, Magaluf also introduced tougher "on-the-spot"; penalties, with fines for anti-social behaviour soaring by at least four times.
Any holidaymaker involved in rowdiness will now be fined £350 (€400) instead of the £87) €100 of 2017 and £437 (€500) euros for any breach of the peace involving alcohol.
The same rise was applied to any tourist caught urinating in the street who will now have to fork out €400 whilst the fine for going naked or semi-naked in a public place was doubled to €400 as well.
Calvià council, which covers all the main tourist hotspots in and around Magaluf, published a revised list of existing sanctions which were increased in price.
One of the main objectives was to tackle drinking in the street and bottle parties, one of the most common problems during the tourist season.
1. €500 fine for any event organiser breaching alcohol rules.
2. €400 fine for any act or individual who "goes against the composure, order and urbanity required for social coexistence"
