Come 7 April, the Malta Tourism Authority will be welcoming travel agents back to the islands – and you could be one of them. The four-night fam trip, dubbed The Malta Academy, will highlight the destination’s gastronomy, adventure, history and culture as well as provide training sessions, hotel visits, exclusive experiences and a gala dinner. There are 30 spaces available on the trip – 10 are being given away in a competition – and agents will stay at the Marriott Hotel and Spa in St Julian’s, which is ideally placed to explore Malta.
Day one of The Malta Academy will focus on gastronomy, featuring cheese making, wine tasting and Michelin-star meals, while the second adventure-themed day will see agents head to the neighbouring island of Gozo, try zip-lining and choose from a range of activities such as kayaking, scuba diving and hiking. The third and final full day will dive into the history of Malta, offering a training session with Heritage Malta, a Rolling Geeks tour of The Three Cities (Vittoriosa, Senglea and Cospicua) and in-depth discovery of the destination’s capital city, Valletta.
