Hotel counter suing for false sickness claim
Comments

I never eat in the hotel all the time even if AI , think my last holiday we ate out on 5 of the 13 days in the evening or lunchtime plus would often stop for a beer in the local bars rather than the hotel bar .
Like you say , maybe it will end up as a return to room and breakfast hotel stays like the old days which will boost the local barsEx forum ambassador

Wait for the complaints to start rolling in. TC and TUI UK have been selling AI for next year for a couple of months. If the hoteliers want this to be affective they need to block Jet2Holidays guests as well. They currently carry nearly as many package holidays makers as TC do.0

Looking at the first photo in the article why has he got 2 plates of food in front of him?
And why isn't he wearing a shirt?
I'd like to know what hotel it was so I could avoid it if that's their acceptable dress code.
And 4 scoops of ice cream?
I hope he's been put on a blacklist.
He's just greedy - for food and money.0 -
makes me laugh as they are too stupid not to realise that "I'm ill in my room for the whole holiday " is easily shot down by their facebook pages .
hotel over there and tour operator here should start doing these people for fraud to send out a message.Ex forum ambassador

From the article:This comes just weeks after a British man was arrested in Majorca and placed under formal investigation on suspicion of encouraging tourists to make false claims by targeting them outside hotels.He (Nick Longman, head of TUI) said already 1,800 cases against his firms had been dropped by one law company, with others expected to follow suit.

I've been on 3 AI holidays, all fab. I used to think it was really lazy thing to do but now that I'm older I go on holiday to relax and do not very much. AI ticks all those boxes. No need to traipse around the various bars/restaurants, alcohol on demand. Whats not to like? Perhaps I've been lucky and stayed in good places with adequate kitchen hygiene etc. I'd perhaps struggle with a fortnight especially when you know that the menu is on a rotation. Couldn't imagine claiming for damages without giving the TO & Hotel/Resort first refusal at getting me medical attention should it be required. I'm pleased that the authorities are taking a stand.0

Fight Fake Claims: Tui and Spanish police crack down on bogus sickness claims
Holidaymakers who submitted false or exaggerated claims for food poisoning against hoteliers in Majorca during the last year can expect criminal action to be taken, Europe’s largest operator warned.
Criminal courts in Palma, Majorca are investigating claims brought by hundreds of UK holidaymakers in respect of dishonest or exaggerated illness they allege was caused by tour operators or hotels.
be nice to see a few arrested at the airport when they next arrive and held "on remand" for the duration of their planned holiday before being packed off home again after a large court fine . Follow it on with "refused entry" any other time they attempt to holiday in SpainEx forum ambassador
