Malta’s 50c tourist eco-tax expected to raise €6 million a year

MALTA’S tourism minister Edward Zammit Lewis says the 50c (38p) per night tourist eco-tax, which will come into effect in April, is expected to generate approximately €6 million (£4.65 million) annually.

He said the tax will be capped at €5 (£3.88), and that the income would be used for a public-private partnership scheme which will include the #Malta Hotels and Restaurants Association and the government.

It will also be used to refurbish and maintain public spaces in tourist areas.
