The Labour Party has announced a proposal for a new €30 million fund aimed at supporting investment and improving the quality of Malta's restaurant sector. This initiative seeks to enhance the overall dining experience and boost the industry.

Under the proposed plan, independently operated restaurants would be eligible to receive up to €300,000 each. This funding is intended to help establishments improve their product offerings, upgrade facilities, and enhance customer service.

Additionally, the proposal includes a measure to funnel a portion of eco tax payments directly to local councils. This allocation would be used to improve public spaces, particularly those in areas with a high concentration of restaurants, further supporting the dining environment.
