Praise from the U.K. Federation of Tour Operators

The U.K. Federation of Tour Operators (FTO) have welcomed the Ministry of Tourism's commitment to the UK market, and have praised the setting up of various joint action committees to improve the quality of the Maltese tourism product.

In a letter to Minister of Tourism Karmenu Vella, the Federation's Secretary General , Mr. Alan Fook, referred to these committees as being "essential for the promotion of sustainable and quality tourism". Mr. Flook made particular reference to what he termed as the "impressive" achievements of the Bugibba Action Committee in the prime tourist resort.

The FTO letter follows a visit by Minister Vella to London in June, during which he met FTO representatives to discuss the future of the UK market for Maltese tourism.
