In the heart of the Med, Malta offers a stunning backdrop for all manner of events
Malta is a destination of choice for business events boasting a plethora of meeting venues set in historical sites and fabulous restored palaces. Combine this with a luxurious abundance of four and five-star hotels complemented by the island’s Mediterranean climate and the renowned Maltese hospitality, this is the perfect destination for conferences, incentives and events.
Conference and Incentive Travel is considered a very important niche in terms of tourism and economic generation for the Maltese islands. Over the past 25 years, this segment has steadily developed and continued to grow. This growth has been embraced by local Government and trade, who have invested their efforts to sustain and contribute towards the evolution of this segment. What before used to be considered as a business opportunity just for the shoulder months, research and results have shown that the Maltese Islands are a business destination all year round.
Conventions Malta, within the Malta Tourism Authority, operates as part of the Maltese Islands official tourism board.
The department focuses primarily on Conference & Incentive Travel and Association Business to the Maltese Islands.
We offer free of charge, unbiased information and assistance to event organisers looking at the Maltese Islands to host their next event on its shores. Conventions Malta operates on a non-commercial basis.
Local Quality Assured DMCs have decades of experience in producing innovative and often award-winning programmes.

Activities
The Maltese Islands offer a wide variety of sports both for amateurs and experts. Outdoor and indoor activities are available for all age groups. They include hiking, golf, abseiling, cycling, boat racing, sailing, swimming and a number of water sports. Outdoor sports are a delight, especially during the winter months when temperatures are just right. And for those few days when the weather is not great, most hotels offer in-house facilities such as tennis, golf and squash courts.
MoreTeam Building Events
There’s nothing better than a common objective or an intriguing challenge to bring out the team-player within. Get your staff to build and race a functioning life-size cardboard ‘boat’ or ‘car’. Make the most of the climate, the beaches and the surrounding Mediterranean Sea with Beach Olympics and water sport competitions, using jet-skis, yachts and speedboats.
