How to win the sunbed wars! They are already raging over Europe. But an ingenious series of new tricks mean you might never face the pre-breakfast sprint to the loungers again...

The article discusses the ongoing 'sunbed wars' among European tourists, particularly British holidaymakers, who often compete for limited sunbed spaces at resorts. Clayton Smith, a retiree from Blackpool, exemplifies the morning struggle to secure a sunbed at a hotel in Torremolinos, Spain.

This development follows a notable legal case involving David Eggert, a German tourist who won compensation after his family was denied sunbed access at a Greek resort. Resorts in Cyprus and Spain are implementing measures such as assigning sunbeds upon arrival to mitigate disputes.
