Philip Fenech on behalf of the Hospitality and Leisure Division of the Malta Chamber for Small and Medium Enterprises, GRTU, welcomed the newly announced routes that Ryanair chose to operate to Malta. The seven additional routes provide increased accessibility from a Tourism viewpoint, especially those providing additional links to Italy and the UK, as well as the new routes connecting the Scandinavian market via Norway and Sweden.
Moreover the novel connections with Poland and Lithuania will provide a fresh impetus to the tourism sector. Every increase in accessibility to Malta results in a direct increase in the economic growth of our country, Mr. Fenech said.
