A garden is being developed in Pembroke with an investment of €2.4 million.

The garden is part of a €20 million Malta Tourism Authority project, co-financed by the European Union and which also includes the St Paul's Bay promenade, a walking and cycling trail and the restoration of the Madliena tower.

Another investment is the building of a €15.6 million aquarium in a public-private partnership.

Parliamentary Secretary for Tourism Mario de Pembroke today visited the works on the Pembroke garden and said the project strengthened the country's tourism product in a zone which was of utmost importance for the sector.

Investment in the product, accessibility and effective promotion were leading the country to obtain positive results with a record being achieved in the past four years. Indications were that this would be another record year.

Success in tourism, Dr de Marco said, generated commercial activity and jobs.

MTA chief executive Josef Formosa Gauci said the garden would provide tourists visiting the area with a nicer country and more recreational spaces.
