Institute of Tourism Studies Malta
Malta’s economy is heavily dependent on tourism activities so it is no surprise that it has an institution for higher education whose purpose is to solely provide the industry with well-qualified and trained individuals. With tourism being the main pillar in the economy the demand for skilled and knowledgeable workers never diminishes.
Since being established in 1987, the Institute for Tourism Studies has grown and developed rapidly offering a vast range of courses to suit the changing needs of the industry.

Being warm and sunny during the daytime for most of the year, the Maltese islands are a popular wedding destination for couples looking to tie the knot in the Mediterranean. There are two options for those getting married in Malta; a civil or religious wedding. With Malta being one of the most Catholic countries in the world, the majority of churches are Catholic and have strict requirements for marriage. The Maltese generally opt for a religious ceremony, with proof of baptism, confirmation and single status being prerequisites, along with a church-sanctioned marriage preparation course run by the Cana Movement.
Malta’s smaller, more rural sister island, Gozo, is an idyllic getaway from the hustle and bustle of daily life. When you arrive in Gozo’s main port of Mgarr and emerge from the ferry terminal into the bright Gozitan sunshine, you get a sense that you have gone back in time. Life on this sleepy island is carefree and laid back, and is a contrast to Malta itself. In Gozo, being an island with an agricultural legacy, there are green fields and farms littered all over the landscape. Many of these older farmhouses have been renovated especially for tourists for holiday lets. In many cases, swimming pools have been installed and the properties have all mod-cons available.
There are many well-known Maltese personalities, but a guy with the surname “Malta” – Chris Malta – isn’t Maltese at all, but is one of the most famous online entrepreneurs in existence today.
Being a country where tourism forms a major part of the economy, Malta has a number of popular attractions for visitors, with something for everyone: history buffs; children; teenagers and those just in search of rest and relaxation.
