“MHRA, Welcomes Qatar Airways’ Return to Malta.”

The Malta Hotels and Restaurants Association (MHRA) welcomes the
announcement that Qatar Airways will resume flights to Malta, enhancing the
country’s global connectivity and supporting its strategic vision to attract high-
value visitors. This development also strengthens Malta’s ties with key global
markets, including the Far East and Australia, home to the country’s largest
diaspora.

MHRA President Tony Zahra stated, “This is a significant step forward, creating
new opportunities to attract high-quality tourists to our islands. It highlights
the growing importance of the Far East and Australia as emerging source
markets and reflects broader trends in quality tourism. Enhanced air
connectivity is critical to advancing Malta’s tourism strategy, driving
sustainability, cultural exchange, and economic growth.”

The MHRA remains dedicated to initiatives that enhance Malta’s tourism
prospects, ensuring the islands remain competitive and aligned with global
trends.
