The UK has reopened its bars and hospitality services and people cannot be more excited for this return to quasi-normalcy. Many waited for bars to open at 12am when measures were officially lifted, with streets packed with all those eager to grab the first drink after lockdown.

Bars, as did other shops and services, anticipated the huge comeback and prepared with huge stocks in order to satisfy their thrilled customers. The UK has implemented a six person rule, meaning that groups of six can meet up together, unless they come from the same household.

Apr 12 2021 Share

Tourism Minister Clayton Bartolo’s latest roadmap to jumpstart the Maltese economy following the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact is making international rounds with news portals such as the Sun sharing the scheme on their platform. The news highlights Malta’s plan to pay tourists visiting Malta up to €200 for booking at least two nights at a local hotel and vacationing on the island. Those who book hotels in Gozo will get an extra 10%.

With popular holiday destinations struggling to maintain commerce from tourism in these difficult times, Malta seems to have stood out with its innovative tourist attraction method. Malta had 2.7 million visitors in 2019, but 2020 saw an immense decrease. The new plan hopes to encourage as many as 35,000 tourists to return to the island.
