The course comprises seven lessons; an introduction, the island’s history and culture, where to stay, exploring the capital, keeping active, seasonal gastronomy, and rest and rejuvenation.

The MTA has also teamed up with Mercury Holidays to offer one agent the chance to win a three-night stay at the Kempinski San Lawrenz Hotel, inclusive of return flights and transfers.

To be entered in the draw, agents must complete the training course and make a Gozo booking by 18 July 2021.

On 18 June, the Gozo Tourism Association will join MTA’s trade trainer Peter Green to discuss what the island has to offer visitors in 2021.

Green said: "We want to ensure our travel agent partners have all the information and product knowledge to ensure they have all the tools to sell Gozo to their clients in 2021 and beyond.

"The island of Gozo is the perfect remedy for post-lockdown travel and is brimming with beautiful bays, hidden villages, historic sites and outdoor activities for travellers to enjoy as part of a standalone itinerary or combined with other islands in the archipelago."
