Perhaps not the best timing from the Malta Tourism Authority, but Malta now has a tourist office in Dubai to attract visitors from there.

The Malta Independent reports:

Malta has opened a tourism office in Dubai to spearhead a campaign to promote tourism from the UAE and the Gulf.

“We are now offering a three-night stay in five-star hotels, including air fare and taxes at Dh2,290, which is very attractive,” Josef Formosa Gauci, chief executive of the Malta Tourism Authority, has told Gulf News.

MTA held its first conference in Dubai with travel and tour operators to promote the package which will run till January next year. The office will be attached to the Malta Enterprises office in the Fairmont Hotel building where its consulate is also located.
