Hot Babes

Experiencing a fall in tourist arrivals this year of ten per cent or more, some of the hotels in Malta used to staying open year round are cutting costs by mothballing their operations over the coming winter months.


Closing down for the winter is common in many holiday destinations, but for Malta it's unusual as visitor arrivals are year round, thanks largely to the good Malta weather during the winter months.


The explanation lies in that this is the second winter in a row where winter bookings are slow, and no matter how good the Malta weather is it doesn't make up for a poor economy in its mainstay UK market - or help British people when it comes to exchanging Sterling for Euros as the British Pound is doing badly against the Euro.
