Tourism studies students will start receiving their new €233 annual allowance on December 2, Tourism Minister Edward Zammit Lewis said yesterday. The Institute of Tourism Studies allowance was announced in the Budget.
The allowance was meant to partially offset students’ expenses on educational material, Dr Zammit Lewis said while touring the institute in St Julian’s.
He underlined the importance of close collaboration between ITS and the tourism industry, including sponsorships that equipped students with the experience they needed to enter the labour market.
