Tourism is a critical sector for countries like Greece and Malta, but it also brings challenges, Jason Deguara, European Economic and Social Committee member and international secretary at the General Workers’ Union in Malta, said last weekend, adding that the EU can provide substantial support to address these challenges by promoting sustainable practices and encouraging diversification of their economies.
He also urged these countries to invest in other sectors like technology, agriculture, and green energy in order to diversify their economy, limit dependence on tourism and become more resilient.
