The Malta Tourism Authority has officially opened its North America office in New York City, marking a significant milestone in the country’s efforts to boost tourism from the region. The inauguration ceremony was attended by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Tourism, Ian Borg, who emphasized the importance of this new office in promoting Malta as a top destination for travelers.
This strategic move coincides with Delta Air Lines’ announcement of its first-ever non-stop flight from New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport to Malta, set to launch in Summer 2026. The new office will play a crucial role in capitalizing on this increased air connectivity, enhancing Malta’s visibility and appeal to North American tourists.
Carlo Micallef, CEO of the Malta Tourism Authority, is spearheading efforts to showcase the island nation’s rich history, stunning landscapes, and vibrant culture to potential visitors. With its new office in New York City, Malta is poised to attract more tourists from the North American market, further solidifying its position as a premier destination in the Mediterranean.
