Bar Publicity
At a recent council meeting in San Antonio, it was agreed to curtail the practice of PRs who, in return for a commission, encourage potential customers to visit certain bars and discothèques. The Councillor for Tourism, Josep Ramon Serra Pilot, stated that the handing out of tickets in the streets and the display of posters had largely been controlled, so the problem of the PRs now needed to be tackled.
The new legislation will allow the municipal authority to close bars breaking the rules for up to ten days, with immediate effect.
Last year a total of 149 official complaints about PRs were lodged, whereas there were just 19 complaints about ticket sellers and only one for the posting of flyers.
