The Mayor of the Calvià municipality in which Magaluf is situated, has passed a law that puts tighter controls on organized pub crawls, making it the first local authority to implement specific rules. It means ‘guides’ will have a wear a jacket so local police can monitor them, and companies will be fined if there are more than 50 people on each pub crawl.
The action comes after a video went viral on social media showing a female holidaymaker performing sexual acts with 24 men in a Magaluf bar while on an organised crawl.
‘As mayor of the municipality of Calvià, I wish to express my total rejection and anger at the activities,’ said Manuel Onieva.
The Calvià region of Majorca has successfully moved past its clubbing holiday image in recent years, encouraging more to visit the region for its upmarket beach clubs, cycling, family attractions, food and hiking.
Onieva added: ‘Since 2012, the Town Hall’s internal tourism organization, Visit Calvià, has been working very successfully in the UK to change the perception of the region. It is such a shame that an irresponsible act by one rogue operator is threatening to undo our hard work. Our commitment to promote our beautiful region to the UK remains as strong as ever.’
