The "balconing": Another Consecuecia "tourism Trash"


Long tour leaders from different Spanish autonomous regions and municipalities, especially in Catalonia, Balearic Islands and Valencia, are expressing the desire and the need to replace the so-called "low cost tourism" or "waste tourism" by a major tourism quality, knowing that, eventually, end up auyentar first to the second, which seems to be happening already this year following the announcement that tourism in the Spanish Mediterranean coast has given in favor of other Mediterranean destinations far less popular for other Europeans.

It is true that Spain is the destination for 25% of Europeans, but, as noted, is no less true that those who prefer to enjoy a peaceful and relaxed, often family, begins to choose more tranquil destinations, away from Spanish Mediterranean beaches crowded and, more importantly, away from the crowded and sometimes unpleasant evenings by the sea, nights of drunkenness, riots and riots in which British and German most of the time take full possession and dominion of bars , pubs and restaurants on the beach, preventing anyone travels on the boardwalks with confidence for their safety.

And it is already beginning to be really nasty to choose specific destinations in the Spanish east coast: beaches crowded, crowded bars, night overcrowded, overcrowded hotels and, of course, riotous brawls that are a must for any bar doors at night Mediterranean. Just walk through the night to understand and see first hand what it says.

Benidorm, Salou, Ibiza and Palma de Mallorca, are some of the destinations where most telling is indicated: the inability to walk along the quiet beach at night because you can find anything, not being able to go out for a beer shorn out of fear, the inability to go to the beach mid-morning because I do not find place to stretch the towel sleepless nights because the hotel is filled with a pack of drunks who spend the night singing, shouting, banging the walls, fighting, walking the halls of the hotel and now practicing "balconing", a practice the latter has come to fill the glass of what is acceptable and certainly not helping the tourism industry at the time they run.

And it is he who plays with fire will burn, which is what is happening with much of the Spanish tourism industry right now, especially in the case of the "sun and beach tourism," tourism in which everything was worth, a value more the amount of quality to make the numbers come out at the end of the tourist season would therefore be useless down to reception to demand that order be imposed on the group of drunken revelry was riding because, usually, that or another group of similar ilk were regular customers each year and this hotel was not willing to scare as "select clientele", not even when these fanatics devoted to jump from balcony to balcony practicing "balconing" a game that has already begun to worry the authorities for the high death toll this year has started to leave.

Indeed, the "summer game" between British and German preferred, especially in the case of the Balearic Islands, has already left four dead and thirty wounded, all young people, even the eyebrows of alcohol, thrill seeking showing his buddies than they were capable. The "balconing" is being practiced especially in the areas of Magaluf, Palmanova, El Arenal, Alcudia and Plaja d'en Bossa in Ibiza, all destinations of the Balearic Islands, areas that have long since associated with the concept of "tusimo garbage, "the same way as is being recently Salou and" Saloufest "the paradigm of" tourism binge "in the Mediterranean and that prevents anyone with half a brain choose this location to enjoy holiday, as the drunken hordes each summer by thousands flooded the streets and beaches getting into the body who comes across them, which makes it a particularly nasty fate.

It really is a shame that places like the above, we have become the emblem of the "tourist trash", the destinations chosen by those who have destroyed their paradise of old image, an image hard to recover especially in the current crisis, and which currently is quite sweet to conform with this kind of tourism, at least, is fixed and does not go for a higher quality tourism would require significant investment in advertising and "get tough" with thugs that have become the masters and lords of these places tourist auyentando quality tourism mainland or foreign destinations.

The Ministry of Tourism of the Balearic Government, to accidents caused by the practice of "balconing" was quick to assert that these cases should not be generalized and that the message to be transmitted to tourism is that the Balearics are a "safe destination "but the truth is that the profile you choose some destinations in the Islands is quite separate from the much hoped for" quality tourism ", being an example the case of Ibiza, a paradise that, however, is associated with macrodiscotecas, drug and macroborracheras, which certainly does not help to promote family tourism destinations seeking quiet at any price and, no doubt, greatly improve the tourism, hotel and restoration of these sites, and, of course, the quality of life of their neighbors, overlooked by this story and that, year after year must support the invasion of drunks in the streets that need to be controlled by the respective local police, another waste of public spending that in no way compensates for the low income that generates this type of tourism.

The "balconing" is just the tip of the iceberg and one of the logical consequences of tourism and the unwise bet that long ago by Spanish Mediterranean coast, with Catalonia, Valencia and the Balearic Islands to the head, to destinations such as Salou, Benidorm and Ibiza as arrowheads, spearheads that have greatly damaged the set and have led quieter than other places that have long pushed for quality tourism will have won.
