Lifestyle Individual Incentive Travel Malta: Fasci

Lifestyle Individual Incentive Travel
Malta: Fascinating History of Malta
Designed by @alpinesterling

One of the many Lifestyle programs available on these beautiful Mediterranean islands.

Malta is an island in the central Mediterranean with a very unique history. Under the Treaty of Paris, which was signed in 1814, Malta became part of the British Empire. Its strategic position in the middle of the Mediterranean halfway between Gibraltar and Egypt made it an ideal naval base. This program includes the the most prominent places of interest in Valletta and the Three Cities which were the key areas in Malta impacted by the 2nd World War. Along the route, an expert guide will offer a real insight into the way people lived during this time and how Malta was affected by the bombing campaign carried out by the Axis powers. There are so many existing buildings which clearly bear the scars of war that our guide will be able to bring these to life, showing guests where the British sailors and soldiers spent their free time and popping into one of the bars for a beer to provide a glimpse of what an English pub would have felt like during those days.

Australia is renowned for its fine beaches and hot summer days, its wine and fresh food culture, its great golf courses and activities on the Great Barrier Reef both above and under water – but what makes Australia most special is the “Aussies” the Australian people.
