Buy some sunscreen and break out the champagne – Malta will pay you to visit its shores this summer (if you can get there).
The European island nation, sitting pretty in the Mediterranean Sea, is looking to jolt its tourism economy into action by helping cover the cost of hotels for travellers arriving from June.
The scheme was unveiled last Friday, and is the brainchild of the Malta Tourism Authority.
“Visitors who book a three-night stay in select hotels will receive compensation on a scaled basis and the amounts will be matched by hotels,”
“For example, those who book into one of the select five star hotels will receive €100 [AUD $156] from Malta Tourism Authority and €100 [AUD $156] from the hotel for a total of €200 [AUD $312] per person, per booking.”
