Heritage awareness for hospitality workers

The Malta Hotels and Restaurants Association is organising a one day tour for front-liners working in 

the hospitality industry.  The programme is open throughout the whole year and the scope is to 

create an awareness campaign amongst front-liners working directly with tourists of the Maltese 

heritage riches.   

 

The programme involves a tour of Malta on land with an open-top bus and around the harbours 

with a harbour cruise boat.   

 

Mr Tony Zahra MHRA president said, "MHRA is offering this service to its members free of charge 

because we believe that this is a sound investment in the industry which generates 30% of GDP."

 

Mr  Zahra also thanked the Ministry for Justice, Dialogue and the Family as the idea for this project 

emanated during one of the consultation meetings held between the Ministry and MHRA as a NGO; 

and City Sightseeing  Malta  and Captain Morgan Cruises for supporting and helping to realise this 

programme.  

 

Mr Michael Zammit Tabona, Managing Director of Fortel  Group of Companies stated that, "Malta 

has a lot to offer and we are pleased to support MHRA in realising such programmes to enhance the 

skills of front-liners in the hospitality industry and hence the overall quality of the Maltese tourism 

product."     

 

MHRA aims to start having this service offered as a standard service to the industry.
