eTurbo News, a travel tourism news portal, reported Malta Tourism Authority (MTA) CEO Carlo Micallef as saying that the MTA is pleased to be working with the franchise.
“[It] has provided us with a great opportunity to showcase Malta to new audiences, as an off-the-beaten track romantic island getaway. Malta is the perfect destination for the US market, as it is English speaking, offers luxury for less and is easily accessible from any European Gateway,” he added.
