Campus Hub parking dropped to €3 per day following backlash

Nov 2 2022

It was revealed by Campus Hub Malta that, following the recent uproar by many, UoM students will pay €3 per day for parking.

The social media post revealed that eSims registration will be needed on demand as proof for payment and that the payment will take place at the security office.

This follows a social media influx of posts by many students who highlighted the expensive parking. Anyone parking between 4 to 5 hours was to pay €5.50, with anyone going over the 5 hour mark paying €6.50.

Anyone staying 13 hours or over, or anyone who lost their ticket, was to pay €12.00. The previous tariffs led to a protest being announced for this Friday against the tariffs.

The recent amendment did seemingly calm the situation to a degree, but many are still asking Campus Hub to take into consideration lecturers and other employees. It is unclear if the protest will still take place. More as this story develops.

Manchester United players to make their way to Malta

Nov 1 2022

During an interview with MaltaDaily’s Fabian Demicoli, Tourism Minister Clayton Bartolo spoke about the connection between the islands and the connection with the prestigious football team of Manchester United.

Bartolo was asked what sort of return the deal with the team will have for the Maltese islands.

The minister first responded by highlighting how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the deal, giving it quite a setback. However, as the world opened back up from the restrictions, Bartolo revealed that the government worked on making sure that the new contract will include more benefits which were not previously present.

The Minister revealed that the Manchester United women’s team will be making their way to Malta in the coming weeks to attend a training camp.

The Minister said that as women’s football in the UK gets a massive boost, Malta will be visited by an immensely prominent team.

Bartolo also said that more marketing opportunities with Manchester United are being discussed for the future, given the size of the brand. This is helping Malta to reach new areas of marketing which, without the massive Manchester United brand, it would not have been able to reach.

Bartolo also highlighted how a goal was scored during a match wherein the logo of Visit Malta was showing. This shows the breadth of exposure Malta as a tourist destination is getting through such deals, said the Minister.
