| Following the publication of tourism returns for May 2001, Minister for | Tourism Michael Refalo congratulated and thanked the Malta Tourism Authority and all Maltese and Gozitan tourism operators for achieving such a result. |
| Minister Refalo commented that, "in volume | terms, despite the anticipated drop from Germany and North Africa, it is satisfying to note that the short fall has been made up from other source markets, notably the UK and France". "More importantly there are other achievements that deserve highlighting, namely, a 10% increase, from 3.31 to 3.65 million in the amount of visitor guest nights, a 7.6% increase in earnings during the first quarter, as well as a length of stay which from just eight days has gone up to 9.2 days." |
