Malta just tripled its tourist eco-tax. Did we go far enough?
Malta is set to triple its nightly eco-contribution for tourists from €0.50 to €1.50 per person. This is the first increase since the tax was introduced in 2016, when it was capped at €5 per stay and expected to raise about €6 million a year.
