Always Be Aware Of Anti-Tourist Demonstrations


According to the London Daily Express, the most recent episode of anti-tourism in Europe happened on the streets of the Majorca capital city of Palma. The outspoken problems expressed by the marchers are inflation, street crowding and wage disputes by hotel and restaurant service employees.

Other popular tourist locations that have experienced street unrest are Barcelona, Venice, Rome and Dubrovnik. If your travel plans include destinations where anti-tourist street demonstrations are happening or threaten to break out, reconsider your plans.

Q&A: Is It OK To Stay Beyond Hotel Check-Out Time? PDF Print E-mail


Q: Sometimes we need to use our hotel room into the afternoon before we leave. Is it OK to stay an extra hour or two for last minute shopping, packing and other needs? Will we have to pay extra for the time? LLM, Providence RI

A: You're expected to be gone by check-out time. However, if you need it and call the front desk at least an hour in advance of the deadline, you’ll probably get another hour or so in the room at no extra cost. Always remember that a busy hotel needs the required schedule to clean and prepare rooms for arriving guests. Your cooperation is expected.
