Our beloved Malta will be the first country in the world to participate in the Forbes International Star Award, which is a programme aimed at certifying hotels and restaurants to train and reward the hospitality sector for the tourism product that it offers to the general public.
During a press conference, Clayton Bartolo, minister for tourism and consumer protection, said that while it’s crucial for our country to support the volume of tourists who come to the islands, it’s also important that we make the next leap, by improving the quality of the tourism sector.
“We must turn past successes into a guarantee for the future. The Forbes International Star Award is a clear example of where we want to take this industry. This must be a sector that is based on excellence and innovation in every aspect,” said the minister.
