Deputy Prime Minister Ian Borg said tourism across Europe has a bright future, provided destinations remain united and work together to address shared challenges ranging from global instability to the long-term impacts of climate change.This was the message conveyed by Borg as Malta hosted the 72nd Meeting of the UN Tourism Commission for Europe this week, reaffirming its commitment to stronger cooperation and resilient tourism development across the region and beyond.During the opening of the meeting, the Maltese side welcomed the new UN Tourism Secretary-General, Shaikha Al Nuwais, on her first Commission for Europe meeting and her first official visit to Malta, expressing full support for her mandate.On the sidelines of the event, Malta also addressed the joint VisitMalta, UN Tourism and t-Forum conference titled “Driving tourism towards the future we want: A dialogue on policies to balance growth, people and planet.”The discussion emphasised that while solutions to the sector’s challenges may vary, responses must remain agile, collaborative and effective.What do you make of his statement?•
