Malta Tourism Society

According to it's mission statement, the Malta Tourism Society aims to 'to create a national awareness about the socio-economic benefits of tourism for Malta and Gozo and to work with regional and international networks to enhance the Euro-Med Product in a sustainable manner'. It publishes an informative and ambitous newsletter called Il-Gardjola. Founder and President Julian Zarb introduces the organisation:

The Tourism Industry is not an activity that is limited to those who work in the hospitality or catering Services; rather it is an activity, which developed out of the need for social interaction for business and educational purposes. The Malta Tourism Society (MTS) was set up in May 2002 by a group of persons who shared this same ideology of an inclusive and diverse tourism industry. Membership of the Society is not limited to any specific sector and should include the practicioner and the academic as well as the civic representation in its cross-section.

Concurrently with its policy of inclusiveness and diversity, the Malta Tourism Society will continue to work for more civic awareness and knowledge of the single largest socio-economic activity in Europe and the World to ensure that sustainability is a collective function in ensuring quality and value for money. You, too, can form part of this society – by joining today you can participate in all activities...
