Tourism industry would have faced downturn even without Covid-19 – study

Malta would have faced a downturn in tourism even if the Coronovirus pandemic had not hit, as the number of available beds was growing higher than the actual demand, a study presented to the Malta...

latest comment from RF, 15/10/2021 17:05: For its existing infrastructure, Malta needs quality tourists not quantities, but which high spender will want to spend his time surrounded by construction sites, dust and noise. There are much better kept places with astounding views wherever one goes to Italy and Spain. Malta is overrated and overpriced with service below acceptable levels.

latest comment from M Farrugia, 15/10/2021 08:17: The labour government knew of the PN mistake long ago but 8 years later, nothing has been done to rectify the situation. Same as the 2006 ODZ saga. Nothing was fixed. I wonder why.

latest comment from adrian borg cardona, 15/10/2021 13:15: He should be brought before Parliament and held in contempt. In the USA, a congressional committee examining the 6 January riots summoned ex-Trump adviser Steve Bannon. He did not appear. Bannon will now face a vote of criminal contempt and could face a fine and one year in prison. In the Maltese Republic of North Korea MPs dare not condemn Mizzi and let him ignore them and the people’s representatives.

Bernard Grech calls for urgent meeting with Broadcasting Authority over PBS bias

Opposition Leader Bernard Grech has written to the Broadcasting Authority, asking for an urgent meeting to be held no later than 15 October, over the situation at PBS. The meeting was called due...

latest comment from D M Briffa, 14/10/2021 18:19: Eddy First question: What's this load of old balls with using a different Disqus name? Stop pretending. Log in under your real name. You are becoming increasingly ridiculous (something that many would consider an impossibility). Second question: You might be right, you might be wrong. I'm not a fan of Bernard Grech, but the PN is absolutely right to challenge the BA. The PBS is massively biased. TVM is also massively biased. I hail from the UK. If similar authorities were to behave in the UK as they behave in Malta, it would be game over. In a normal country this kind of behaviour is not tolerated. Not by anyone. Not, even, by people like you. Ciao, Dave
