Watch: Tourists Caught Tearing Down Sign Outside Fuwamai In St Julian’s

Wait 5 sec.

A group of tourists has been caught on camera ripping down the signage outside a popular Japanese soufflé pancake bakery in St Julian’s, leaving the business to deal with the damage.Footage shared with Lovin Malta shows the group striking the Fuwamai sign from different angles before it eventually falls to the ground outside the shop.Reacting to the incident, Fuwamai said the episode raises wider questions about the kind of tourism Malta wants to attract.“We just think there’s a conversation worth having about what ‘quality tourism’ actually looks like when the cameras are rolling and what it costs the little guys when it isn’t,” the bakery said. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lovin Malta (@lovinmalta)Despite the incident, the local business has continued giving back to the community.Fuwamai is currently offering free watermelon lemonade to anyone looking to cool off during the ongoing heatwave, while also providing free meals to Enemalta and Civil Protection Malta workers as they continue responding to the recent power outages and extreme weather.The incident has sparked renewed discussion online about respect for local businesses and the behaviour of some visitors in Malta.What do you make of this?•
