European party island set to introduce strict new tourist measures this summer
European party island set to introduce strict new tourist measures this summer

A TOURIST hotspot in Croatia is introducing a new measure to clamp down on unruly tourists and antisocial behaviour.
Hvar Island is a well-known party destination, with open-air clubs, beach parties and pub crawls attracting revellers from across Europe.
The island is introducing a ban on noise restrictionsHvar Island is a well-known party destination
The Croatian island is attempting to move away from party tourism, with councillors voting to introduce noise restrictions in Hvar Town for summer 2025.
Councillors on the island voted to keep noise restrictions in place for the summer.
Noise in the party town will be limited to 85 decibels, which is the equivalent of a food blender, a noisy restaurant or the cinema.
This would mean significant changes for its popular outdoor clubs that open during the summer holidays.
Brits hoping to book a party holiday on the island this summer will need to check whether beach clubs and parties will continue to take place in light of the restriction.
Other details, such as fines for those floating the ban, have yet to be revealed.
The new measure has been met with fierce backlash by the hospitality sector, with lobbying groups trying to declare the island as a year-round entertainment zone.
Vicko ViskoviÄ, a member of the hospitality association Dictum Factum, told a local news outlet: “I think this is a disaster. We have always supported stricter rules and better monitoring, but now we are going from one extreme to another. This is not the right approach.”
Local authorities, however, want the island to be an attractive tourist destination for families.
Darijo Å ariÄ, CEO of luxury villa rental site VIP Holiday Booker, added: “In previous years, open-air clubs in Hvar and Split may have encouraged excessive partying among guests and contributed to a ‘party destination' image in Croatian tourism.”
The secret European island with just one hotel, hidden beaches and wine bars selling cheap local booze
Elsewhere in Croatia, tourists can be fined up to â¬700 (£585) on the spot in Split and Dubrovnik for inappropriate behaviour.
This includes using drugs and drinking alcohol in public spaces, vomiting in public and walking around in swimwear.
Holidaymakers can also be fined for removing shells from beaches in Croatia.
Other countries in Europe are also introducing new tourist measures before the summer season gets underway.
Everything you need to know about visiting Croatia
Brits must have at least three months left on their passport from the day they plan to leave the country.
Tourists do not need a visa if visiting for up to 90 days in 180 days.
Make sure your passport is stamped on entry and exit.
Travellers may be asked to show confirmation of a hotel booking, travel insurance documents and that they have enough money for their stay when at the border.
Croatia is one hour ahead of the UK.
The country uses the Euro with around â¬10 working out to £8.60.
Flights to Croatia from the UK take between 2 hours and 45 minutes to 3 hours depending on the destination
Lopud has also won favour with the Beckhams who often visit the Croatia island for a holiday.
