Attention TO TOURISTS GOING TO MALTA: If you like peace & quite do not go there ! Some tourists resorts in Malta, namely, Qawra and Bugibba, have adopted a go as you please attitude for certain enviornmental issues. The city has over 100,000 inhabitants during summer, yet you hardly see any police roaming across the streets. Drunk british tourists are allowed to smash parked cars and disturb public peace all night till 0600. Wardens ignore private cars playing loud pop music and horns till the early hours of the morning. Cars crossing one way streets etc . Not to mention the improper allocations of noisty units like extractor fans, airconditioning units, construction equipment. How would you like to wake up at 0500in the morning with a crushing sound of waste disposal truck !! Entertainment noise is accepted as normal by the local mayor Mr. Paul Bugeja, and the police inspector (who is refusing to give his name). This is because he ownes a bar called Caesers at Bugibba square, and the local police inspector allows him to hold street disco's every night till tyhe small hours of the morning. Next to Caesurs, is the disco bar The Miracles, the owner of which is a close buisness friend of the mayor, and is also allowed by the local police to hold daily discos at the square. Before booking your hotel or flat check, because you will regret it. Othe bars/restaurant/nightclubs given permission to hold these street disco's are: PG Bar Restaurant Sea View Miss Molly Is-Sienja Bugibba Holday Complex Flamingo, Wise Guy Sounds Next Time Whiskey Blue Coconut Crystal Inn Piano Bar Angelo's 2# Hotel Santana Almost every bar and in some cases stationery, toyshops clothing shops etc. to name just a few. Most of the entertainment places have no formal permission to operate, and worst still are using public land and pavment to operate. copies sent to Enviornmental NGO's Anti Entertainment noise (Anti Musak) organisations Enviornmental tourisim organisations and booking offices in UK & Germany

From reading Tommy's message one gets the impression that Malta is a noisy and untidy country. Most people who visit the islands can say that this is definetely not the case. Bugibba is definetely one of the busiest spots on the islands in Malta and Gozo, so it is advisable to look at other villages if one is seeking peace and quiet. In my opinion the best option would be to head over to the sister island of Gozo. It is definetely cleaner and quieter with crystal clear seas. Gozitans are very friendly people and welcome tourists with their famous hospitality. Many people rent out self-catering accommodation such as farmhouses, villas and apartments and most of them return time and time again. Don't get put off by certain people saying that Malta is noisy, dirty, etc. I'm sure there are certain spots which qualify as noisy but since Malta depends mainly on tourisim there must be entertainment for all ages. In fact some of the best night-spots in the Mediterranean are in Malta and Gozo. Undoubtedly the greatest attraction of the islands is the peace and tranquility one can enjoy in various parts of the islands.
