The MTA London Office has won the TTG Award for the Tourist Board of the Year.

This award is regarded as the most prestigious award in the UK travel industry and is also billed as the most difficult award to win.

The TTG Awards are an annual event held each year in London by Travel Trade Gazette, the UK’s leading trade weekly and oldest travel industry publication in the world.

Reaching the final is subject to a vote by thousands of UK travel agents, with the winner then selected by a judging panel of around 40 industry leaders. Malta won this prestigious award against fellow finalists, Queensland, Abu Dhabi and Barbados.

Malta was announced the winner having developed very strong relationships with the UK travel industry and for implementing an impressive marketing strategy to promote Malta as an ideal all-year- round short haul destination, to a diverse audience range.

MTA’s London Office was also one of the finalists in the inaugural LGBT-Friendly Travel Company of the Year category. MTA was the only Tourism Authority named amid other finalists including Virgin Holidays, Kuoni and Celebrity Cruises, the eventual winner.
