No problems with refugees in Malta

08:07, 1 апреля 2011

Worried tourists contact travel companies inquiring about the publications regarding gathering of Northern African refugees in Malta. However despite the media reports the island doesn’t suffer from any refugee crowds and nothing poses risk to tourists.  

“We usually start booking tours to Malta in January. Many hotels are fully booked by now. There are no cancellations but we receive many phone calls with questions” – revealed to Interfax-Tourism the General Director of Melita Tour Company Ms. Vlada Teteruk. She thinks that the Russians’ concerns are quite understandable, because Malta is not only leisure destination but the most popular and affordable country for studying English for children. “In order to find out what’s really going on we contacted our partners in Malta. They assured us that everything is safe” – says Ms. Teteruk.  

The Prime Minister of Malta Mr. Laurence Gonzi made an official announcement: the fact that during the last week of February and the first week of March the country has been a place for dislocation of foreign specialists evacuated from Libya, confirms the safety of the island. The Prime Minister added that Malta has never been and will never be used by any political coalition as a military base; this is one of the main postulates of Malta’s constitution.

According to Rosstat’s data, over 20 thousand Russian tourists visited Malta in 2010. No less than a half of them came for education tours – mostly to English schools.
