British holidaymakers heading to Spain are being warned about a little-known airport rule that could land them with a fine of up to £115. The regulation, which applies at airports across the country, prohibits certain actions that may seem harmless to UK travellers.
According to research by Ski Vertigo, nearly 30% of British tourists receive at least one fine during their trip each year, with Spain being the most common location for such penalties. Fines often relate to littering, smoking in prohibited areas, parking violations, and failure to follow beach rules.
Michele Massa, CEO of Ibiza Summer Villas, said: 'The increase in travel fines across popular destinations like Spain is a direct response to the growing challenges posed by mass tourism. It's important for travellers to respect local customs and regulations to avoid unexpected costs.'
To avoid fines, experts advise checking local government tourism websites, packing light, and being mindful of behaviour in public spaces. The warning comes as more Brits are caught out by unfamiliar local rules during their holidays.
