Malaga Sets⁤ Up⁢ Billboards to Guide Tourists on ⁤Civilized Behavior

Malaga, a ⁤popular tourist destination in southern Spain, has taken a unique approach to promote civilized behavior​ among visitors. The city has set up a series of billboards in prominent locations, featuring bilingual labels in English and Spanish, to remind tourists of the code ⁤of conduct during ‌their visit.

These billboards are part of a campaign launched by Malaga City ⁢Hall to⁢ improve ⁢the quality of ​tourism‌ in the city. With a large number of British holidaymakers visiting ‍Malaga every year, the city aims to promote respect for local customs and traditions.

Respect for Local Customs

One of the billboards reminds ‌tourists to dress appropriately,⁢ stating, “Please dress appropriately. No matter where ‍you are, please keep your shirt on ‍for ‍respect and hygiene.” This initiative is a ‌response to the phenomenon ⁣of some tourists not⁣ dressing modestly in public​ places.

Safety and Order

Another billboard addresses the issue of electric scooters, stating, “Sidewalks are for pedestrians only. When riding‍ a scooter or bicycle,⁣ please follow ⁢municipal regulations and stay in ⁣designated areas.” This aims​ to promote a​ safe and orderly travel environment.

Environmental Protection and Public Order

A third ⁢billboard emphasizes the importance of⁣ maintaining city cleanliness, stating, “Maintain city‌ cleanliness, make good use of public facilities such as trash cans, respect and protect historical sites, public green spaces and public facilities.” This calls on tourists to join efforts ‍in protecting ​the city’s environment.

Noise Nuisance

The city hall has also put forward specific requirements regarding‌ noise nuisance, stating, “Please keep a low profile, avoid making loud noises, singing or playing music ​at high volume, and ‍respect the rest ‍time of neighbors, especially the elderly, patients, children ⁣and night shift ⁣workers.”

A Joint Response to Tourism Challenges

Malaga’s actions ⁤are part of a broader response by Spanish cities‍ to the challenges of the tourism industry. Other cities, ⁢such as Barcelona, Ibiza, and Mallorca, have ‍also implemented measures to manage tourism‍ and promote sustainable development.
