En el informe de ABTA para el año 2013, se hacen una serie de recomendaciones para los turistas ingleses cuando viajan a España, ahora que empieza la temporada y por si os puede ser útil en vuestros hoteles, os lo copio aquí.
• Last year there were a number of incidents involving
British visitors which resulted in hospitalisations, deaths and arrests, many
involving young people under the influence of alcohol. A Foreign Office / ABTA
balcony safety campaign has aimed to deter young people from indulging in risky
behaviour, following a high number of falls and three deaths in Spanish resorts
during 2012
• Spanish authorities take a zero-tolerance approach
to alcohol, drug-related and domestic violence incidents. Any situations that
do occur under the influence of drink or drugs might render your travel
insurance policy void, which could leave you facing thousands of pounds of
medical and other bills
• It is important to find out about local laws and
customs because Spain’s legal system differs from that of the UK. For example,
in Barcelona it is illegal to wear only a bikini or swimming trunks in the
street. If you find yourself on the wrong side of the law, you will be tried
under the Spanish system. Although Consular staff can help you find an English-speaking
lawyer, they cannot get you out of prison
