The Hard Rock Hotel Malta opened in St. George’s Bay, representing a €350 million direct investment in the tourism sector and creating several hundred jobs. Separately, Hotel Casa Bonavita, a boutique hotel in Attard, was inaugurated with an investment exceeding €8 million. Prime Minister Robert Abela noted that only 22 percent of total tourist nights in Malta were recorded during the peak months of July and August, compared to an average of 31 percent across the European Union.
