More than 1.33 million tourists visited Malta last year, spending more than €1.1 billion.

They spent in Malta more than 11,000 nights surpassing the 2008 records.

The government said in a statement that these were the results of its wise decisions and investment.

The results were more significant when one considered how the sector was doing in other Mediterranean countries.

While the average European increase for last year was three per cent, the increase in Malta was of nearly 13 per cent. Malta’s results were also recently acknowledged by theUnited Nations World Tourism Organisation, through its World Tourism Barometer.
