Only 24 hours ago, Eurostat reported that 2 in every 3 Maltese cannot afford a 1-week holiday - but on Tuesday, the National Statistics Office said that over 23,000 went abroad in November, an increase of 7 per cent over a year before.
EU destinations remained most popular with an estimated 84 per cent of Maltese tourists preferring them. The UK and Italy emerged as the destinations with the highest preference, with both countries registering increases over the comparative month in 2008.

In the first 11 months of the year, 273,661 Maltese went abroad (not all of them on holiday, of course) more or less the same level as in the same period of 2008.
