Conventions Malta
Slide3In May 2015, The Maltese Government together with the Malta Tourism Authority (MTA) announced the set up of
Conventions Malta, a foundation for the promotion of foreign conventions and congresses.
Conventions Malta, within the
MTA
, operates as part of the Maltese Islands official tourism board which is a
national non-profit government organization
which has now been established for a number of years.
Formerly referred to as the
‘M.I.C.E. Segment’;
the Conventions Malta division focuses primarily on conference & incentive travel and Association business to the Maltese Islands.
Slide4The role of Conventions Malta is that of
promoting Malta, Gozo & Comino as a M.I.C.E. destination. Conventions Malta offers
free of charge
, unbiased
information
and
assistance
to event organisers looking at the Maltese Islands to host their next event on its shores. Conventions Malta does not operate on a commercial basis.
The Conventions Malta setup further strengthens the importance given to the corporate and incentive travel sector as well as the Associations market business in and to the Maltese Islands
.

Slide53The
Maltese Tile is a signature of every old Maltese house, identifiable through a particular palette of colours and geometric shapes.
We have adopted this design as part of our (Conventions Malta) Branding.
These cement tiles form a very small part of the nation's visual and architectural identity through the various patterns.
Stephanie Borg
is
a Maltese self-taught artist, graphic and surface pattern designer who has a particular interest in the depiction and in promoting the patterns of Maltese cement tiles.
