Malta received 174,715 tourists in July, an all-time record for the month, the National Statistics Office said.
It follows records reached in April, May and June.
Tourist spending last month was estimated to top €190 million, a growth of 10 per cent over July 2011, the NSO said.
There are now 81 routes linking Malta to other destinations, up from just 45 in 2006, the ministry said.
