Malta Chamber Suggests New Tourism Plan for Better Quality Visitors
· Updated
In brief
- The Malta Chamber of Commerce has put forward a new plan for tourism.
- It suggests focusing on attracting visitors who spend more money, rather than just a large number of visitors.
- The plan also proposes stopping special building rules for tall hotels and making rental property rules stricter.
The Malta Chamber of Commerce has released a new report about how Malta should manage its tourism. The report suggests a big change in how the country attracts visitors.
Instead of trying to get as many tourists as possible, the Chamber wants Malta to focus on attracting visitors who spend more money and stay longer. This idea is called "value over volume".
The Chamber believes that having too many visitors is putting a lot of pressure on Malta's roads, public services, and natural places. It also affects the daily lives of people who live in Malta.
To achieve this new goal, the report makes several suggestions. These include stopping special rules that allow hotels to be built very high. It also calls for stricter rules on properties rented out to tourists.
Further details have been released regarding the Malta Chamber of Commerce's proposed tourism strategy. The strategy urges a shift towards "value over volume" tourism, focusing on attracting higher-spending visitors rather than simply increasing tourist numbers.
Key proposals within the strategy include an end to incentives that encourage the construction of tall hotels. Additionally, the Chamber is calling for a crackdown on rental properties, suggesting stricter regulations in this sector.
