Have you been considering a visit to Malta?
On Friday 9th April, Hon. Clayton Bartolo, Minister for Tourism and Consumers Protection at the Government of Malta, announced in a press conference that the Malta Tourism Authority (MTA) has just launched Incentives for Free Independent Travellers (FIT).
Under this FIT scheme, starting as of 1st June 2021, independent travellers who visit Malta for a minimum of 3 nights in 5*, 4* and 3* participating hotels, and book directly, will each receive €100, €75, €50 respectively.
The amount received will effectively be doubled, since participating hotels will also match the amount to each traveller in credit to be spent on accommodation, food, beverages and other services within the hotel property.
Travellers who opt for hotel properties on the island of Gozo will get an additional 10%, resulting in a total incentive of up to €220 per traveller.
The Free Independent Travellers scheme does not have a deadline in place but is limited to a budget of €3,500,000, with over 35,000 tourists who stand to benefit from the incentive.
