Events
Often leading the discussion of European event hubs, Malta literally runs on events. With tourism contributing to a significant part of the country’s GDP, hospitality professionals are of utmost importance nowadays. ITS’ events study programme opens the door to various roles in events operations such as events planners, events managers, events specialists, fair and contentions coordinators, DMC managers and much more.
Travel & Tourism
While a Travel & Tourism programme at the Institute of Tourism Studies may not come as a surprise to you, the importance of such a course in Malta’s touristic climate is definitely unbelievable. The weight travel and tourism carry on Malta’s culture and economy are immense and the benefits of having an understanding of such a climate are truly priceless.
