Hoteliers on the Baleares say that they cannot fence in tourists to stop the current fad of balconing, despite the death of a 24 year old Briton last Thursday in Sant Josep who fell trying to reach the neighbouring balcony.

Juanjo Riera, President of the hotel owners in Ibiza and Formentera, told Europa Press that the hotels all meet the height regulations on balcony verandas under British legislation which is 1.10 metres. He said the hoteliers would be doing all they can to remind tourists about the dangers of the fashion, and called for more convincing awareness campaigns. He complained that the videos of the practice which are on YouTube bring legitimacy to the practice.
