Does an imminent election effect you as a tourist?

Lets say you're planning a Mediterranean Holiday and while googling around you come across Holiday Accommodation Malta and say Villas Short lets Malta but then you look up news malta and find out that your vacation would coincide with the country's election time which takes place every 5 years. What is your reaction?

a.) You dread the potential instability and tick off Malta from your list of potential destinations
b.) It doesn't bother you at all
c.) It actually interests you to see what election time looks like in Malta giving added value to your holiday

Share your views with me! As at time of writing the party currently in Government boasts of exceptional tourism experienced in 2007 and anticipates an even better 2008. Not so for the opposition.

What is your impression? Especially if you're a local hotelier or restaurant manager, perhaps you run a Malta or Gozo car hire firm? How was business in 2007? What is 2008 really looking like? Is the current tourist a planner and a spender or is he more of the late booking weekend break type who doesn't spend much? Is Malta only attracting ageing tourists or are we attracting more of the clubbing type to our very unique town of Paceville where partying never ends??

Hi!
It’s for people who are in Malta or interested on visiting Malta…

I arrived here a few weeks ago and I have visited several places since then, around the island. However, although I had been several times in Valletta (the capital city in the country), I haven`t discovered a really interesting service that gave me the opportunity of enjoy the city on my owns… I can say that from now I would see the city in a different Light!

I thought that Malta was a very small country without a lot of things to do or places to visit, but it wasn’t true: there are so many things to discover!!! And we start in Valletta, a treasure!:

There is an innovate way to visit Valletta, it’s by using MyGuide service, an audio guide service that allows people to visit the city during an all day, in a more free a confortable way and with a really interesting description of each place… I spent an all day enjoying it and I want to get back to each place in the city to continue enjoying the sights, the experience!!!This is the website of the service:

Of course, don´t forget visiting St. John’s co-cathedral, really really interesting and amazing!!!

Regards, and enjoy your tour in Valletta!!!
