HOTELS are hoping to attract Maltese
"tourists" come summer as they struggle to
keep afloat amid the likelihood of the island's
external borders remaining closed due to
COVID-19, BusinessToday is informed.
However, the degree to which this will help
with the drastic drop in income hotels have
suffered is unclear.

boss Tony Zahra told this newspaper that he
agreed with efforts to attract Maltese cus-
tomers to hotels, should government lock-
down measures be relaxed as the warmer
months approached.
