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.
