Tourism: Announcing a financial grant for every tourist who visits Malta in the summer
Malta's Tourism Minister Clayton Bartolo announced, Friday, the country's plan for the tourism sector, which includes providing 200 euros (238.10 dollars) for every tourist who decided to stay at least three days on the Mediterranean island this summer.
He said that with most of the restrictions related to the Coronavirus expected to be lifted, tourists who book summer holidays directly through local hotels will receive the grant.

“Tourists who book to stay in a five-star hotel will get 100 euros from the Malta Tourism Authority, corresponding to 200 euros from the hotel, and those who choose a four-star hotel will get a total of 150 euros, and those who book a hotel will get from the hotel,” Bartolo continued. Three-star class on € 100, the bonus increases by 10% when hotel reservations are made on the small Maltese island of Gozo, three kilometers north of the mainland.
