The Home Office has issued a warning to British tourists heading to Mediterranean destinations like Ibiza, Majorca, and Menorca for summer work in 2024. Young Britons seeking jobs in the seasonal industry of
nightlife and hospitality are at risk of exploitation by
criminal gangs. As part of 'Operation Karetu', Border Force officials are educating travelers at 22 UK airports about the dangers of
modern slavery, sexual exploitation, and
illegal employment. Many young workers may face long hours for low pay and may unknowingly engage in unlawful work due to unfamiliarity with EU labor laws. Authorities stress the importance of securing proper visas and employment contracts before working abroad to protect British youth from unscrupulous employers and ensure their safety in popular tourist areas. ==See also==
