Lately the Malta Hotels and Restaurants Association has listed cleanliness as a priority. It insisted with the government that Malta should be brought up to scratch, and particularly the tourist areas should be kept clean at all times.
The MHRA should first of all demand from its own members and other tourist operators that they themselves should set an example and keep the area where they operate clean. They are probably the main culprits of the lack of cleanliness in the tourist areas.
Two photos attached show two mounds of rubbish left by tourist operators at the Ferries in Sliema. This is the mecca of all Maltese tourism and every tourist at one time or another passes from this area. The rubbish mounds are a daily occurrence and at times, are not only left overnight, but also well into the day.
Where are the environmental wardens who are supposed to give tickets to those who throw a cigarette butt on the ground? This is enormously more than a cigarette butt. The fact that these rubbish mounds continue appearing only shows that nothing is being done about this.
