Students of the Institute for Tourism Studies will start receiving their new €233 annual allowance on December 2, Tourism Minister Edward Zammit Lewis said today.
The allowance was announced in the Budget.
Dr Zammit Lewis toured the ITS this morning and spoke to staff and students.
He said the allowance is meant to partially offset students’ expenses on educational material.
The minister underlined the importance of close collaboration between the ITS and the rest of the tourism industry, not least to give the students work experience.
