THE number of unregistered hol-
iday apartments currently being
rented out to foreign guests is like-
ly up to three times higher than the
number of registered apartments,
Malta Hotels and Restaurants As-
sociation president Tony Zahra
told Business Today.
According to statistics published
by the National Statistics Office
last week, show that the number of
tourists that visited Malta between
January and May 2019 increased
by 2.8% when compared to the
same period last year.
During this period, the number
of visitors staying in rented apart-
ments increased by 13.9%, while
hotel occupancy registered a de-
crease.
"e number is enormous," Zahra
told BusinessToday. "For every one
that is registered there are two, if
not three that are not."
Unregistered holiday apartments
could number more than 3,000
