The Malta Tourism Authority (MTA) is advocating for increased regulation of Airbnb rentals to ensure a fair and sustainable tourism industry. This push for more oversight aims to address concerns related to housing availability, noise levels, and the overall impact of short-term rentals on local communities.
By implementing stricter regulations, the MTA hopes to balance the benefits of tourism with the needs of residents, promoting a more responsible and well-managed approach to short-term rentals. Effective regulation would also help to enhance the quality and reputation of Malta’s tourism sector, ultimately benefiting both visitors and locals alike, while also ensuring that Malta’s tourism industry continues to grow in a sustainable manner.
