From 2002 to 2020 : levelling out the playing field
an interview with the Minister for Tourism
Although Malta ’ s first steps into the tourism market date back to the early 1950s , one generally dates “ modern tourism ” to the legislation that was set in motion in 2002 to regularise tourism and travel in these Islands . Tied to these are 17 additional legal notices ; subsidiary legislation in themselves . In its time , this legislation served its purpose . But so many things have since happened that one immediately notices changes in the market itself , in its players , visitors and stakeholders .
Hospitality Malta asked the Minister of Tourism , Dr Edward Zammit Lewis , how the proposed Malta Tourism Act everyone is talking about has been geared to radically revolutionise the industry and open the way to 2020 targets .
