Rethinking your Trip: An Open Debate - International Summit

The Government of the Balearic Islands, the European Institute of Studies on Prevention and the European Alcohol Policy Alliance have the pleasure to invite you to An Open Debate: Rethinking your Trip International Summit on 13 February in Palma, Mallorca.

Excessive alcohol intake by air passengers has economic, medical and welfare ramifications, and is identified as a top three risk to aviation safety. Incidents on airplanes may in the worst scenarios endanger the lives of many. Apart from the nuisance incurred to the other passengers, drunkenness on airplanes causes flights to be diverted, distracts the cabin crew from their normal safety duties and implies a hazard in emergency evacuations.

Thus, excessive alcohol consumption seems to be continuing beyond the flight itself, causing anti-social behaviour and danger to tourists’ health. In this sense, dangerous practices and uncivil behaviour appear in some tourist destinations.

This policy debate will serve to exchange knowledge and explore potential policy solutions. You will find the agenda and further information on our event below (FAQs).
