New security concept at Ballermann: Palma takes action against excessive drinking!
In Palma on Mallorca, a new security concept is being presented for the popular Playa de Palma beach section. The initiative is intended to help improve the tarnished image of the tourist resort, which is burdened by excesses of alcohol and violence. Mayor Jaime Martínez emphasizes that the excesses of recent years must not be repeated. The first measures of the plan will come into force on April 17th.
The security strategy includes several measures, including the use of cameras and drones, to increase security in the region. An additional 170 police officers will also be available on site. A budget of three million euros from tourist tax revenue will be used for implementation. This money will go towards purchasing eight new police cars and three drones. In addition, civil patrols are set up that can intervene quickly in an emergency.
Background and challenges
In recent years, the area, particularly Ham Street, has faced problems such as excessive drinking, fights, rape and vandalism. These incidents not only had a negative impact on public safety, but also on the region's image, which is a crucial factor for many tourists. The hoteliers had repeatedly criticized the inadequate police presence, which is now being addressed by the new measures.
The aim is to ensure security 24 hours a day, especially during busy times when many holidaymakers come to the region to party. Excessive alcohol consumption and obscene towels should also be punished in the future. This is in the context of efforts to promote responsible tourism, as discussed in a comprehensive report on quality of life and tourism in Germany, which highlights the impact of tourism on local communities.
The new security measures are designed to help protect the well-being of both residents and tourists, and demonstrate the city's commitment to creating a safe environment for everyone involved. More information about the quality of life and tourism development in Germany is available here available.
The developments in Palma are an example of the challenges that many tourist hotspots must overcome to ensure a positive experience for visitors and a safe life for residents. Further details about the measures in Palma can be found on the website of crown and 20 minutes to find.
