The escalating strain on Malta's tourism sector, as evidenced by the relentless influx of tourists throughout the year and the inability of guides to meet the surging demand, raises serious concerns about the long-term sustainability and quality of the visitor experience. The government's ambitious growth targets, aiming for a substantial increase in tourist arrivals, exacerbate these concerns, potentially leading to further pressure on resources, infrastructure, and the delicate balance of the island's cultural and environmental integrity. The current situation, where guides are struggling to cope and a "low season" no longer exists, suggests an urgent need for a more measured and sustainable approach to tourism management.

This situation underscores the critical importance of ensuring that urban planning and the management of public spaces adequately account for the essential requirements of all citizens, particularly in urgent circumstances.
