  • The Impacts of Valletta 2018 on the Tourism Sector: Malta Tourism
    THE IMPACT OF VALLETTA 2018 ON THE TOURISM SECTOR ."-5"5063*4."65)03*5: Tania Sultana with Ramona Saliba INTRODUCTION This research study attempts to measure the impact of Valletta 2018 on the tourism sector in Malta. This report is divided into four sections. Part 1 focuses on Malta’s tourism performance covering the period 2015 to 2018. The figures are based on the latest available ofcial statistics as at 7th November 2018. Part 2 provides a detailed explanation of the impact of Valletta 2018 on tourism performance. The impact assessment primarily looks at tourists’ awareness levels of the event followed by tourism activity generated directly by Valletta 2018, i.e., the number of tourists attracted to Malta and the resulting guest nights and tourist expenditure generated. The estimates are mainly based on indicators originating from continuous surveys carried out by the MTA, namely the Traveller Survey and the Heritage Locality Survey. Part 3 looks at the relevance of ‘culture’ as a pull factor for tourists visiting Malta. The methodology adopted allows for the diferentiation between tourists who are ‘greatly motivated’ by culture and those who are only ‘motivated in part’. Part 4 focuses on tourism activity in Valletta namely visitor flows, sites and attractions visited and visitor impressions of Valletta. This section also looks at the profile of tourists who opt to stay in accommodation establishments in Valletta. The concluding remarks at the end of the report provide a short synthesis of the main findings. FINDINGS Overview of Tourism Performance A buoyant inbound tourism performance was recorded during the period 2015 to 2018 where all the main indicators – inbound tourists, tourist guest nights and tourist expenditure – recorded significant growth rates.

  • MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 7 January 2018 1
    MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 7 January 2018 1 MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 7 January 2018 Annual Festivals & Traditions The Maltese Islands have a number of religious festivities and cultural events that take place every year. Feast days are the life of the Islands and some holy days are actually national holidays, such as the feast of Santa Marija in mid-August. Others, such as the harvest festival of Mnarja at the end of June, are steeped in folklore. However, the most important events to all villages are their individual festas, honouring their parish patron saint. Religious holidays, such as Christmas and Easter, are highly celebrated, with the traditional festivities that go along with them. As families tend to be quite close-knit, the holidays are a time to strengthen the sense of community as well as reinforce family bonds. Church services play a large role during this time of year and during the Holy Week of Easter, many flock to the churches in great numbers for the‘seven visits', the visit of seven churches, to pay homage to the Altars of Repose. The festive commemorations are also a time of food, drink and merriment which brings out the Mediterranean roots of the locals. Families prepare large Christmasand Easter lunches; giving thanks for all that they have with their relatives. During these festas the streets are lined with carts, selling a wide assortment of differentfoods as well as the more traditional sweets and delicacies. Introduced relatively recently, cultural events such as the Malta Fireworks Festival, the Malta International Arts Festival, Notte Bianca, the Malta Jazz Festival , the Malta World Music Festival and Mediterranea in Gozo are becoming traditions in their own right.

Landslide phenomena involve the northern coast islands (Fig. 1). The Maltese economy is mainly based on of Malta, affecting in particular the urban area of Xemxija. the tourism industry and has increased since the 1970s with Limestones overlying a clayey formation represent the shal- a high degree of coastal urban settlements. lower lithotypes that characterize the surficial geology of this In order to better preserve the historical heritage, land- area, where lateral spreading phenomena and rockfalls take scapes, and coastal areas and to promote tourism activities, it place. has been proposed that the archipelago might be considered Ambient noise records, processed through spectral ratio as an open air laboratory. In this context multidisciplinary techniques, were analysed in order to characterize the dy- studies integrating geology, engineering, geomorphology as namic behavior of the rock masses affected by the presence well as history and archeology may be undertaken in order of fractures linked to the landslide body existing in the area.
