Attending the Wanderlust Tourism Awards, Tourism Minister Clayton Bartolo announced various exciting achievements for the sector as it recuperates from the pandemic.

Bartolo firstly announced how Jet2.com and Jet2holidays will be increasing the amount of tourists making their way to Malta by 30%. ‘This means an increase in the amount of flights between Malta and the UK’ he explained.

Apart from this, the Minister revealed on Facebook that our island was awarded the silver classification in the ‘Most Desirable Island (Europe) 2022’ by Wanderlust Travel Magazine.

‘This success is due to the important work being done by the Malta Tourism Authority away from our shores’ said the Minister.

Whilst there, Bartolo highlighted the presence of VisitMalta all over the UK, saying that the logo and brand appear all across the UK via the traditional taxis.

Nov 9 2022

Taking to social media, Development Director of Ghana Mission Foundation Nikol Baldacchino shared a touching video of the moment Ghanian students sang along with Maltese influencers currently doing missionary work.

The singing was led by Kevin Paul Calleja and Megan Caruana, who both had experience on the local version of XFactor and became music powerhouses in their own right.

The local singers were also joined by Daniel Umanah, Victor Abela, Keane Cutajar and MaltaDaily’s very own Amy Borg. Working with the foundation and HopeXchange, they are actively working on spreading hope to many children living there.

And music (and not just any music but a local classic) seems to be doing just that as the cohort sings enthusiastically with a classroom full of engaged children.

The Crown Season 5 has officially dropped on Netflix

Nov 9 2022

Following massive anticipation, especially the somber passing of the late Queen Elizabeth II, the Crown has been released on Netflix.

The series chronicles the life of Queen Elizabeth II, starting off from before her official coronation through to her life in the modern age.

The latest instalment is set to cover the rather turbulent events of the 1990s. The royal family underwent various tribulations during this time period, from divorces to the death of Princess Diana as well as the fire at Windsor Castle.

In fact, the synopsis for this new season reads: ‘It’s a new decade, and the royal family are facing what may be their biggest challenge yet: proving their continued relevance in ‘90s Britain.’

The role of Elizabeth has been taken on by Imelda Staunton, with Jonathan Pryce portraying Duke of Edinburgh Prince Philip. Elizabeth Debicki and Dominic West will portray Diana and Prince Charles respectively.

Due to the series’ event being inspired by real-life occurrences, the show has been met with mixed reviews and critiques. However, it has managed to attract a new cohort of fans following the recent death of the real life Queen Elizabeth on September 8th.
