Tourism Minister gets tough with Comino concession holders

 

Following complaints about over-charging and over-crowding on beach amenities on Comino, Tourism Minister Edward Zammit Lewis said that the fines imposed this summer, already 60 per cent higher than last year’s total, were not the only option open to the authorities to combat abuse.

He warned that the three-year concession agreements between the government and four operators could be revoked in case of repeated and serious breaches of the conditions.

“There is a procedure to be followed, and I assure you that, if the abuse persists, then further action will be taken.

“I do not exclude revoking concessions,” he said.

The Ministry of Tourism has published an updated of prices for the Blue Lagoon and Santa Marija Bay.
