One customer asked TUI on Twitter about whether the changes will impact their holiday to Magaluf in June, with TUI responding for them to message privately. However, some TUI customers are still worried. TUI also said that as the restrictions only apply to a small area it shouldn’t impact the overall level and quality of service in any of their hotels. TUI have said that any hotels affected by the changes will be highlighted on the website under the board basis details so customers are fully aware of the situation before they book a holiday. TUI, Thomas Cook, easyJet and Love Holidays have responded to the legislation in a bid to tackle traveller's confusion over the 'new' rules. The Balearic government has also put a stop to pub crawls, the sale of alcohol in shops between 9.30pm and 8am, and advertising party boats in some areas. It has left some British travellers upset and angry as they arrive for their holidays with a cap on their drinks. Customers are free to purchase additional drinks if they choose. Hotels in the selected areas are required to limit alcoholic drinks included in the all-inclusive to three drinks with lunch and three drinks with dinner.

The Balearic Regional Government passed a Decree (rule of law) to manage alcohol consumption in central areas of Magaluf, El Arenal, Palma Nova, Playa de Palma and the West End of Sant Antonio De Portmany. The change in law is affecting holidays in the Balearic region of Spain and was actually introduced in early 2020, but due to the coronavirus pandemic many Britons have not been able to travel to the popular party resorts, until now. Major travel companies have responded following a change in the law that will see some Spanish all-inclusive holidays enforce a "six drinks a day" rule.
