    Banning "drinking alcohol on the streets or having sex on the beach" makes sense. But, too be honest you just know this is going to hurt tourism for the town. Many tourists won't know the rules and will be hit with fines. Thus they will get annoyed and have a negative experience. A customer who has a negative experience is 13 times more likely to mention it than those who have a good experience, and they tell 50 people on average of their bad experience. Also, travel agencies are sure to mention this as a sticking point when selling package deals. All this will see a marked decline in tourism. And there will be plenty of other towns who will willingly take the money of those tourists.

    All in all a bad move that will hurt the town in the long run. Makes me want to laugh and cry.

    Barcalona's move is much better, running a campaign to try and change habits is much less knee-jerk.
