The Malta Tourism Authority (MTA) has inaugurated a new North America office in New York City. Deputy prime minister and minister for foreign affairs and tourism, Ian Borg (pictured) cut the ribbon at the opening of the new office, 19 September, which will operate within Malta’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations in Manhattan.
“For any advanced destination, the US travel market is the ultimate benchmark. For a small island nation like Malta, success here requires strategic, long-term commitment,” the minister said.
Malta’s permanent representative to the United Nations, Natasha Meli-Daudey, and Malta’s ambassador to the United States, Godfrey Xuereb, also attended the event, alongside industry leaders and stakeholders.
MTA CEO Carlo Micallef described the new office as an “important milestone” in the Authority’s 11-year journey in North America, praising the work done by MTA’s North America Representative Michelle Buttigieg in recent years. “Results have been exceptional, and this new office marks an important milestone in our long-term strategy,” Micallef said.
