Malta heritage deal could boost tourism

A new deal between heritage organisations in Malta and the Isle of Man could bring a boost to tourism.

Manx National Heritage has signed a reciprocal agreement with Heritage Malta, its equivalent on the Mediterranean island.

The deal means Friends of Manx National Heritage members can use their membership cards at a range of attractions in Malta.

But it might also see a rise in Maltese visitors to the Island as Heritage Malta membership cardholders can use their cards at Manx National Heritage sites.

Nicola Pemberton, Admin & Development Officer of FMNH says the Trustees of the Manx Museum and National Trust have approved the agreement, and it's hoped the move can now help drive tourism.
