New Booking System For Comino’s Blue Lagoon Suspended Following Court

May 3 2025 Share

A new online booking system for visitors to Comino’s Blue Lagoon, launched just two days ago, has been suspended following a court decision initiated by boat operators.

The Malta Tourism Authority (MTA) announced that the Team Blue Lagoon will temporarily put the system on hold.

The decision follows a court injunction filed by boat operators, who raised concerns about the system’s impact on their operations.

The booking system, which aimed to manage visitor numbers and protect the environment of the Blue Lagoon, allowed visitors to book one of three daily time slots, with a cap of 4,000 visitors at any one time. On its first day, over 4,800 visitors used the system, receiving wristbands to access the site.

In its statement, the MTA reaffirmed its commitment to the sustainable management of the Blue Lagoon, one of the Mediterranean’s most picturesque sites. However, the new system faced criticism, particularly from boat operators, who voiced concerns about fair competition and the rushed implementation. The Gozo Tourism Association (GTA) also raised concerns, calling for a transitional period to allow operators to adjust.
