Hotspots like Magaluf, Benidorm and Amsterdam are those usually chosen by holidaymakers seeking cheap booze and sun. But as countries like clamp down on problem tourism - many Scots are turning to a new party destination.
Bulgaria's Sunny Beach has gained popularity in recent years due to its incredibly cheap holiday deals. Formally a destination for families, the resorts are increasingly attracting revellers seeking the sun, sand and sex, reports the Sun.
In a recent six-part docu-series on E4, Emergency On Sunny Beach, Police reveal that it is Brits who cause the most trouble. The six-parter shows women stripping to get hold of freebies, the Daily Star reports.
Men are also seen passing out from alcohol consumption after playing wild drinking games. Couples can also be seen getting hot and steamy in the open.
One young man, Mason, 21, from Essex, heads on a bar crawl and licks alcohol off a Bulgarian woman’s breasts. He told the documentary: "I’m 21, a young buck, I’ve got a lot of goals. I’m going to make Sunny Beach my oyster.
"I want to shag a MILF and shag a load of foreign birds because I love foreign birds."
The town where Sunny Beach is located has been nicknamed "Blackpool Abroad" with punters able to get all-you-can-drink nights for £26, or Viagra jelly shots and beers for under £1.
Around 100,000 Brits head to Sunny Beach every year with more set to join as Amsterdam places new rules around drugs and sex workers to discourage bad behaviour.
Local police woman Desislava Goranova said: "At night the central part of the resort goes through a change, the clubs open, it’s full of people with loose morals, a lot of drugs and booze. In my view the usual British tourist looks like this — fair skin, a bit chubby and wearing as little clothing as possible, always very loud and covered in tattoos.
"Compared to other nationalities the British tourists are always very loud and jolly."
While her colleague added: "The British people cause the most problems because they can’t drink."
In the E4 series, documentarians asked many holidaymakers while they chose the town.
A caretaker named Demi, 20, said: "We’ve only done it to get f***ed up and this is what happens."
With her face covered in cuts, she added: "Lesson learnt: Don’t give anyone a piggyback when you’re drunk, and don’t run when you’re doing it because you’ll have to pay a lot of money. Oh, and take out insurance."
Her pal, Holly, also 20, commented: "It’s Blackpool but abroad." The pair went on to use laughing gas balloons and get permanent tattoos.
Demi got the words: ‘Smoke weed every day’ inked on her thigh in Arabic despite not speaking the language. She added: "If my family asks, then I’ll just say it says, ‘Live, laugh, love’."
Also speaking on the documentary, Tsvetan Florov, 30, owner of Club Viking said: "The young British lads are like wild animals. People try to have sex in the club.
"Someone’s going to be lucky — that’s why we also give away condoms so they can practise safe sex."
Carmel, from Essex, dances on a stripper pole before noting: "What happens in Bulgaria stays in Bulgaria."
While 18-year-old Ruby, commented: "I don’t think you can come to Sunny Beach with a boyfriend. If you do, you’re going home without one."
A local added: "I grew up in Sunny Beach, the tourists become friends. The British tourists are a must here because, without them, Sunny Beach is not the same."
They said that "without British tourists [during Covid] Sunny Beach was boring".
Six nights in the Apartment Blue Komfort, under a mile from the centre, will cost £117 – that’s just £19.50 a night. You can also get six nights at the Menada Grand Kamelia Apartments – 0.5miles front he centre – for £121 between two people.
