At first glance, violence and tourism do not seem
closely related. Holidays are that time in which
we get away from our daily routines in search
of fun and rest, somewhere different, spending
leisure time with family and friends, or even alone.
So people’s spirits and expectations should be
high in anticipation of their trip. But why do we
frequently hear news about young people dying
in tourist resorts after falling from the balconies
of their hotels? Why do we read about fights in
discotheques, in which somebody can end up
having a bottle smashed over their head? Why are
the emergency services saturated in some resorts,
especially in summer, attending to hundreds of
cases of young people poisoned by alcohol or
other substances? It would seem, indeed, that the
panorama is not the idyllic one we might expect.
