In this episode, Niall asks: Are Portugal’s new dress rules for tourists over the top?
As Portugal and other tourist hotspots crack down on visitors walking around in bikinis or bare-chested away from the beach, hefty fines are being introduced to curb what locals see as disrespectful behaviour.
Some callers argued the rules are too strict, saying tourists just want to relax and enjoy their holidays. If it’s near the beach and not offensive, they said locals should be more understanding, especially in areas that rely on tourism.
Others supported the new measures, saying tourists often forget they are guests in someone else's community. They believe beachwear belongs on the beach, and showing respect while abroad is basic decency.
As Niall points out, this isn’t just a debate about clothing. It’s about whether tourism should adapt to local cultures or expect them to adapt in return.
