In September, nearly 394,000 tourists visited Malta, marking a 10% increase compared to the same month last year.
According to the National Statistics Office (NSO), the country recorded almost 2.7 million overnight stays last month and generated just under €466 million in tourist spending.
Around 371,000 visitors travelled to Malta for leisure, while nearly 15,000 came for business purposes.
The majority (87%) stayed in rented accommodation.
These results bring the total number of tourists in the first nine months of the year to over three million, with total expenditure estimated at over €3 billion.
The number of visitors in the first three quarters of the year increased by almost 12% compared to 2024.

Over a third (35%) of tourists were aged 25–44, while about 30% were between 45 and 64.
The total number of overnight stays rose by almost 9% compared to September last year, with an average stay duration of 6.8 nights.
Most tourists also visited Comino or Gozo during their trip, either for a day excursion or an overnight stay — more than 247,000 people, or nearly 63%, travelled to the sister islands.
Tourist spending in September increased by over 21% compared to the same month last year.
In conclusion, the rise in tourist numbers during September once again confirms Malta’s enduring appeal as a destination that beautifully combines natural beauty, cultural heritage, and a pleasant climate even beyond the summer season.
