‘Our Establishments Are Committed to Improving Quality Matching the Expectations of Higher-Spending Tourists' ACE President Michelle Muscat outlines upcomingchallenges for the HORECA industry while maintaining optimism for the upcoming year.
Now that the dust has settled from the latest restaurants survey commissioned by ACE, President Michelle Muscat shares her reactions and views about where the industry is heading.
Despite strong economic fundamentals, Malta risks falling short of its Vision 2050 unless we urgently prioritise the quality of Human Resources. ACE President Michelle Muscat explains why.
Earlier this year, the Association of Catering Establishments (ACE) presented its findings from the latest Pulse of the Industry report, shedding light on the pressing issues facing the catering sector in Malta.
The last head count of eateries in Malta has circa 2,700 licensed with Visit Malta and an additional 700 with the Trade Licensing Unit. The latest population statistics in Malta state that we have a population of over 562,000 people.
There is a common consensus that the catering industry plays a fundamental role in Malta’s economy both in terms of revenue generation as well as in terms of people who are directly or indirectly employed in the industry.
Most catering establishments claim that with the COVID-19 Government voucher scheme they have maintained revenues, if not increased, during the summer period.
