She maintained that the Government is committed to continuing to invest in both infrastructure and workers, in order to continue to provide quality services that make a difference in the lives of residents and improve the experience of visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;You are the best ambassadors of the work that the Government carries out in our communities. Every well-maintained beach, promenade and public space reflects your dedication, and therefore we will continue to invest in your training and development so that you have all the necessary tools to continue to carry out excellent work,&#8221; said Minister Zerafa Civelli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Chief Executive of the Agency for the Regeneration of Tourist Areas, Dennis Vella, said that during 2026 the Agency continued to carry out a substantial number of maintenance, beautification and regeneration interventions in various tourist areas across Malta and Gozo. He thanked the workers for their commitment and stressed that the success of the Agency continues to depend on the professionalism and commitment of each and every one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the programme, employees attended several sessions focused on professional and personal development. Among them was a presentation by CEO Dennis Vella on the work and projects carried out by the Agency during 2026, as well as a team building and motivation session aimed at further strengthening collaboration and team spirit among employees. The programme also included a presentation by representatives of the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the end of the programme, the Minister presented certificates to workers who successfully completed training in occupational health and safety, as well as to those who obtained certification in the restoration of rubble walls, which training further strengthens their technical competencies in the performance of their duties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The event was also attended by the Permanent Secretary within the Ministry for Local Government and Public Works, Emil Vassallo.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div><p id=\"pvc_stats_59074\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"59074\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.0\" viewBox=\"0 0 502 315\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid meet\"><g transform=\"translate(0,332) scale(0.1,-0.1)\" fill=\"\" stroke=\"none\"><path d=\"M2394 3279 l-29 -30 -3 -207 c-2 -182 0 -211 15 -242 39 -76 157 -76 196 0 15 31 17 60 15 243 l-3 209 -33 29 c-26 23 -41 29 -80 29 -41 0 -53 -5 -78 -31z\"\/><path d=\"M3085 3251 c-45 -19 -58 -50 -96 -229 -47 -217 -49 -260 -13 -295 52 -53 146 -42 177 20 16 31 87 366 87 410 0 70 -86 122 -155 94z\"\/><path d=\"M1751 3234 c-13 -9 -29 -31 -37 -50 -12 -29 -10 -49 21 -204 19 -94 39 -189 45 -210 14 -50 54 -80 110 -80 34 0 48 6 76 34 21 21 34 44 34 59 0 14 -18 113 -40 219 -37 178 -43 195 -70 221 -36 32 -101 37 -139 11z\"\/><path d=\"M1163 3073 c-36 -7 -73 -59 -73 -102 0 -56 133 -378 171 -413 34 -32 83 -37 129 -13 70 36 67 87 -16 290 -86 209 -89 214 -129 231 -35 14 -42 15 -82 7z\"\/><path d=\"M3689 3066 c-15 -9 -33 -30 -42 -48 -48 -103 -147 -355 -147 -375 0 -98 131 -148 192 -74 13 15 57 108 97 206 80 196 84 226 37 273 -30 30 -99 39 -137 18z\"\/><path d=\"M583 2784 c-38 -19 -67 -74 -58 -113 9 -42 211 -354 242 -373 16 -10 45 -18 66 -18 51 0 107 52 107 100 0 39 -1 41 -124 234 -80 126 -108 162 -133 173 -41 17 -61 16 -100 -3z\"\/><path d=\"M4250 2784 c-14 -9 -74 -91 -133 -183 -95 -150 -107 -173 -107 -213 0 -55 33 -94 87 -104 67 -13 90 8 211 198 130 202 137 225 78 284 -27 27 -42 34 -72 34 -22 0 -50 -8 -64 -16z\"\/><path d=\"M2275 2693 c-553 -48 -1095 -270 -1585 -649 -135 -104 -459 -423 -483 -476 -23 -49 -22 -139 2 -186 73 -142 361 -457 571 -626 285 -228 642 -407 990 -497 242 -63 336 -73 660 -74 310 0 370 5 595 52 535 111 1045 392 1455 803 122 121 250 273 275 326 19 41 19 137 0 174 -41 79 -309 363 -465 492 -447 370 -946 591 -1479 653 -113 14 -422 18 -536 8z m395 -428 c171 -34 330 -124 456 -258 112 -119 167 -219 211 -378 27 -96 24 -300 -5 -401 -72 -255 -236 -447 -474 -557 -132 -62 -201 -76 -368 -76 -167 0 -236 14 -368 76 -213 98 -373 271 -451 485 -162 444 86 934 547 1084 153 49 292 57 452 25z m909 -232 c222 -123 408 -262 593 -441 76 -74 138 -139 138 -144 0 -16 -233 -242 -330 -319 -155 -123 -309 -223 -461 -299 l-81 -41 32 46 c18 26 49 83 70 128 143 306 141 649 -6 957 -25 52 -61 116 -79 142 l-34 47 45 -20 c26 -10 76 -36 113 -56z m-2057 25 c-40 -58 -105 -190 -130 -263 -110 -324 -59 -707 132 -981 25 -35 42 -64 37 -64 -19 0 -241 119 -326 174 -188 122 -406 314 -532 468 l-58 71 108 103 c185 178 428 349 672 473 66 33 121 60 123 61 2 0 -10 -19 -26 -42z\"\/><path d=\"M2375 1950 c-198 -44 -350 -190 -395 -379 -18 -76 -8 -221 19 -290 114 -284 457 -406 731 -260 98 52 188 154 231 260 27 69 37 214 19 290 -38 163 -166 304 -326 360 -67 23 -215 33 -279 19z\"\/><\/g><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"http:\/\/livenewsmalta.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p><div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The employees of the Tourist Areas Regeneration Agency, who throughout the year work on the maintenance, beautification and upkeep of beaches, promenades, swings, paths and other tourist areas around Malta and Gozo, continued to strengthen their professional skills through a training and development programme organised by the Agency.
