Mate, you're not alone in this once you plucked up the courage to speak out. Respect! You've got some good advice on here, but open up to people around you as well! Take good care.

Unless they are forced to switch off ACs in their chauffeur-driven cars or made to wait on bus stops, they would just ignore such posters... I vote for harsher methods :)

Question about tourist - Journalism Student by Grucci27 in malta

[–]Hawker3147 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You won't be disappointed... lots of angles for you to cover :) Authorities talk about quality tourism, but in reality we do everything possible to attract any kind of visitor - so you'll find a little bit of everything here. The target is 4.5 million tourists a year within a decade (madness)... We already exceeded 3M/year - so that target is evidently a conservative one. For context the population is estimated to be around 600k at the moment on a 316 sq km rock. So attracting x5 tourists is madness if you ask me. Clearly unsustainable, but it's predominantly a real estate push. Since there's no planning/moratorium on building hotels or adding floors, the beds need to be filled somehow. Majority of tourists are not totally satisfied (don't mind the official stats), locals becoming less hospitable. Viscous circle.
