The Malta Hotels and Restaurants Association (MHRA) commends the Malta Police Force for their recent successful operation which led to the seizure of a substantial quantity of illegal drugs, preventing millions of euros’ worth of cocaine from reaching the streets.
This decisive action once again demonstrates the professionalism and vigilance of Malta’s law enforcement authorities in protecting society and safeguarding the country’s reputation. MHRA strongly supports a zero-tolerance policy towards drugs, which not only endanger lives but also threaten the social wellbeing, economic stability, and integrity of our islands.
Drug-related crime undermines communities and discourages investment and quality tourism — both vital pillars of Malta’s economy. MHRA emphasizes that keeping Malta safe, clean, and welcoming is essential to preserving its appeal as a destination of excellence, trust, and sustainable growth.
The association expresses full appreciation to the Police Force and all those involved in this important operation, reaffirming its commitment to work with national authorities to ensure that Malta remains a secure and attractive destination for residents, workers, and visitors alike.
