'Check smallprint' warning after balcony plunge dad hit by 'booze clause'
Sam Hudson, 24, was on a 'typical lads' holiday' in Ayia Napa, Cyprus, when he fell 30ft from a balcony at the Anmaria Beach Hotel after trying to jump between two balconies The family of a British holidaymaker who cheated death after tumbling four storeys whilst attempting to climb between hotel balconies in Cyprus are demanding a law change. Sam Hudson, 24, was enjoying a 'typical lads' holiday' in Ayia Napa alongside his brother and a mate when he plummeted 30ft (9m) from a balcony at the Anmaria Beach Hotel. The father-of-one, from Lincoln, has absolutely no recollection of the terrifying accident - though it's understood he had been attempting to leap between two balconies whilst intoxicated. He sustained a shattered pelvis, fractures to the L4 and L5 vertebrae in his spine, and a broken leg, before being rushed to hospital for urgent treatment. Sam hadn't arranged travel insurance before his getaway, meaning he was hit with enormous hospital bills. Do you have a travel story to share? Email webtravel@ Nevertheless, the decorator has since learnt that even with travel insurance, he wouldn't have been protected as he had consumed more than four pints at the time of the incident. Consequently, Sam and his step-mum are attempting to highlight the restrictions of travel insurance - and reform the law so that it becomes compulsory for all tourists. They are also urging people to obtain a UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) before travelling - which helped cover some treatment expenses. Sam's step-mum Karen, 52, said: "The boys had all been drinking at a pool party but Sam went back to the hotel early. "When his brother Nathan and friend Alfie returned, they were faced with police who told them there had been an accident. Nathan rang us and he was just beside himself. He said that Sam had fallen off a balcony and was in hospital. "It's every parent's worst nightmare. You go through all sorts of emotions and your mind is racing. I was just thinking: 'Is he alive? What was he doing?' Your heart just instantly sinks." Karen and Sam's father Mike, 56, jetted out to Cyprus the following morning and rushed to see him at Nicosia General Hospital. Karen said: "He was lying in bed strapped to all of the monitors. "He was in tremendous agony - crying out in pain. I asked if they could give him more painkillers but I was told he was on the maximum he could receive." Sam required urgent surgery on his pelvis but his family first had to obtain a GHIC card for him, which took several days. They then turned to frantically attempting to bring him back to the UK - but were informed a medical repatriation flight could cost as much as £50,000. Karen said: "We spoke to the British Embassy who told us it was going to cost around £50,000 to get Sam home. That's a lot of money - and money that we don't have. So I asked, 'What do families do?' And they told us a lot of people start a GoFundMe. "But we didn't want to do that. We didn't want to sponge off people." Nevertheless, the situation shifted for the family when they finally managed to speak to Sam. Karen said: "We can't fault the care Sam has received but he was really struggling because of the language barrier. "He said to me: 'I just want to get home so the doctors can understand my pain when I'm telling them.' I told him I would do the best I could and so I knew I had to start the GoFundMe." Karen and Mike succeeded in obtaining Sam a GHIC card, which paid for his operation and emergency medical care. They subsequently launched a GoFundMe to meet the expenses of Sam's medical kit, their outgoings and lodging in Cyprus, and whatever was required to bring Sam home. They have collected £5,500 so far. Fortunately though, Sam has now been informed he'll be capable of flying home on a commercial aircraft - but will still require specialist support at additional expense. Karen anticipates he will be home within the coming weeks - once arrangements have been finalised with a hospital in the UK. Once home, Sam will begin rehabilitation and physiotherapy so he can learn to walk again. Meanwhile, Karen is determined to alter the law surrounding travel insurance. She said: "We were shocked to find out that even if Sam had travel insurance - he wouldn't have been covered because he had drunk alcohol. It's one of those things that's in the small print. And I do think that needs looking into. "I know people might think: 'It's his own fault. He was drinking.' And I completely agree. But I think it's unrealistic to think that people will go on holiday and not have a drink. There should be an option with travel insurance to pay more to also be covered in accidents where alcohol has been involved." Karen is advocating for a change in the law to make travel insurance compulsory for all holidaymakers. She stated: "I want to change the law so it's mandatory. For example, when you go to tax a car, it checks your insurance. I think when you book a holiday, you should have to put your travel insurance details and your GHIC Card in, or, it doesn't let you complete the booking." Despite Sam's medical treatment being covered by his GHIC card, Karen estimates that they've spent approximately £8,000 on necessary equipment like a mobility chair and back brace. They've also incurred substantial costs for accommodation to stay near him, as well as flights to and from the UK for Mike to maintain their rental business. The ordeal has inspired Karen to consider establishing a charity to assist other families facing similar circumstances. She shared: "We've raised £5,500 from the GoFundMe so far and we are so grateful. That's gone to equipment, our costs, and trying to get Sam home, and we wouldn't have been able to do all that without the support. "It's made me want to help other families in this position as there is just so much to think about that you don't realise. You're stressed and just trying to be there but you have to think about booking flights, accommodation, and asking the hospital all the right questions. "If someone was there with you to advise you on all that it would make it a lot easier. So I want to look into sorting that soon. Any funds leftover from the GoFundMe will go towards that." Currently, Sam is unable to walk but is expected to start his recovery journey once he begins physiotherapy in the UK. He is eager to return as quickly as possible to see his two-year-old son.

Major Dubai parking changes in 2025 that you need to know
Parking in Dubai can be challenging with so many other drivers to compete with for a space. You may have a specific spot in mind, but it's often the case that someone else has got there first, and that means you'll need to find a new place to park. Parking has already changed a lot in 2025, with new rates, systems and zones introduced all across the city throughout the year. To allow you to keep on top of things and not get caught out when you're driving around, we've rounded up the big parking changes you need to know about this year in Dubai. New public parking zones introduced in 2025 Credit: Parkin Several new parking zones have been launched throughout 2025 so be wary next time you're driving around. Public parking operator Parkin has launched new zones in major Dubai neighbourhoods. In July, a new 24/7 zone was launched at Al Khail Gate which introduced a flat Dhs30 for daily parking and an hourly tarrif of Dhs4 during both off-peak and peak hours. In May, two new zones were introduced in Mirdif which covers on-street and off-street parking. Off-peak parking was priced at Dhs2 per hour and during peak hours it was Dhs4 per hour.

The initiative was first rolled out to 107 core locations across the UAE and now residents and visitors will soon be able to use its eWallet system across 18 new locations in Dubai. The new ticket-free and automatic parking payments using your Salik account will be available at these new locations. Locations include the Union Coops in Al Twar, Silicon Oasis, Al Quoz, Al Barsha, Mankhool and Nad Al Hamar. The Beach JBR, Park Islands, Heera Beach, Park Islands, Marina Walk, West Palm Beach, Opus Tower, Lulu Al Qusais and Azure Residence are also included in the new Salik/Parkonic locations. Barrierless parking introduced at major Dubai malls Mall of the Emirates (Credit: Mall of the Emirates) In recent times, some of the city's biggest malls have removed parking barriers to make it quicker to get in and out of car parks. As long as your timing is right, you can make some major savings on parking at some of the city's biggest malls and focus, instead, on grabbing bargains. BurJuman has introduced Automatic Number Plate Recognition to calculate fees. It means that there's no longer a need for a ticket but you'll still need to pay at a machine and rates have not changed. City Centre Deira, Mall of the Emirates and City Centre Mirdif all removed barriers in their respective parking zones. Rates have not changed as a result of the changes. Parking to change at Dubai public parks (Credit: Supplied) The city's official parking operator, Parkin, is set to take over public parking facilities at some of the emirate's biggest and most popular public parks. An agreement between Parkin and Dubai Municipality means that the parking operator will now manage several select free public parking facilities that are owned by Dubai Municipality. The two parties will develop planning and regulatory standards, streamline permit procedures and enable data exchange to support services. It has not yet been revealed which sites Parkin will begin operating the parking facilities at. But Dubai Municipality do operate the likes of Al Safa Park, Dubai Frame and Quranic Park. New parking rates across Dubai In 2025, new parking tariffs have been introduced across the city at Parkin-controlled on-street and off-street zones. Premium spaces across the city have been hiked up to Dhs6 per hour at several zones across the city. It also clarified the peak and off-peak parking hours in Dubai. The increase in tariffs was announced alongside a change to dynamic Salik toll gate pricing in November 2024, but came into effect on Friday April 5 in 2025. Peak pricing will apply to six out of the 14 chargeable hours per day – 8am to 10am plus 4pm to 8pm – but these prices will not be in place on Sundays or on public holidays. Tariffs during off-peak hours will be unchanged. This means that what you pay will not change between 10am and 4pm as well as between 8pm and 10pm. The updated tariffs applied to zones A, B, C and D and can be seen in full here. Parking fee increases in Dubai (Credit: Canva) Since the introduction of new Parkin rates in Zones A, B, C and D, price hikes have been introduced in specific neighbourhoods. Parking during major events at Dubai World Trade Centre has seen a significant spike to Dhs25 per hour. The area surrounding DWTC is now known as a Grand Event Zone, with parking now priced at Dhs25 per hour during big conferences. In April, Parkin doubled fees in four of the emirate's biggest neighbourhoods. Rates increased in Al Karama, Al Qusais, Madinat Dubai Al Melaheyah and Al Kiraf. Previously, Zone W parking spots cost Dhs2, but this latest announcement means that the price is now double. In February, fees increased in the Al Sufouh 2 area, which meant a hike in hourly prices in Barsha Heights, Dubai Media City and Dubai Internet City. Teachers and students to get cheaper parking (Credit: Canva) The city's official parking operator, Parkin, just announced it is changing the rules around parking fees, offering certain individuals a budget subscription fee. Offering new public parking subscriptions, the fees will be available to students, as well as the staff of private education centres. There will also be a new subscription fee for anyone seeking multi-storey parking access across the city. For students, the fee will start at Dhs100 per month, allowing access to both roadside and plots parking with zone codes A, B, C and D within a 500m radius of their campus. Teachers and staff at private education centres will also be able to redeem the Dhs100 fee along with parking near their campus. Looking for things to do in Dubai?
