Two young German tourists arrested for defecating in a hotel in Mallorca, Spain.  The tourists in their 20s caused major damage to the hotel by using the elevator as a toilet, setting off fire extinguishers, destroying a mattress, and damaging furniture. The hotel reported the incident to local police and estimated the damage would cost about 46,000 Indian Rupees( approx) to repair.

The two German tourists spent a night in jail, according to local news reports. They were later released on bail. This incident highlights the pattern of bad tourist behaviour worldwide. 

Similar Incidents From Across The World 

  1. The incident of tourists arrested for damaging hotel in Mallorca is not the first. In another recent case, visitors to Cambodia’s ancient Angkor Wat temple have mimicked the mobile game “Temple Run” at the sacred site.  Videos of tourists running through the temple like characters in the game have gone viral, with millions of views online. These events highlight the growing problem of tourists disrespecting cultural sites and local laws while travelling.
  2. Earlier this year, security at Italy’s famous Pompeii ruins caught a tourist from Kazakhstan carving his name into an ancient wall. The man etched “ALI” onto the House of the Ceii, a part of the well-preserved Roman city. He was quickly stopped by guards and faced strong criticism for damaging the archaeological site.
  3. In 2023, a group of German tourists made headlines for destroying a valuable statue in Italy. Security cameras recorded the incident at a bed and breakfast. The statue crashed to the ground, suffering major damage. 
  4. In another shocking incident, a Russian visitor to Bali faced consequences for disrespecting local customs. The tourist climbed Mount Agung, a volcano considered sacred by Balinese people. 

He took a photo of himself on the mountain with his trousers down. Local authorities took swift action in response to the disrespectful act. The Russian man was deported from Bali and received a 6-month ban from re-entering the country. 

These incidents stress the importance of respecting local cultures and religious sites when travelling abroad. It also shows how social media posts lead to serious consequences for tourists who break local laws or customs.

I did my first solo trip in India with WanderOn. Initially I was sceptical about their Meghalaya-Kaziranga trip as I didn't have any prior experience with them but the team assured me that it's going to be one of the best experiences of my life.

In Ladakh, find the perfect blend of culture, adventure, and serenity. December last year I decided that my next trip would be Ladakh but didn’t know how to go about it. I knew I wanted to travel in a group, as I had prior experiences of traveling in a group but wanted an organiser I could trust. Ladakh isn’t like other destinations wherein you need some instructions due to the high altitudes.

After an amazing trip to Tirthan with WanderOn, I decided to go to Manali-Jispa with them and yet again, the experience was worth every penny. The place was very beautiful and the quality of service was top-notch, the itinerary was very good and the quality of transportation and stays were very good. Had an awesome time there and made some good friends as well. Lastly, our trip captains Priyasha and Rachit managed the entire trip very well and were so fun and made our trip an experience worth remembering.
