The Malta Tourism Society has welcomed the European Asylum Support Office in Malta.

The society said an important aspect of tourism was the sense of hospitality and of corporate social responsibility. In this respect, it considered the decision by the European Commission and the European Parliament to base the office in Malta as a confirmation of the island's capabilities and logistical advantages in Euro-Med relations.

It urged the government to work towards the successful undertaking of the new office's role.
