The Malta Tourism Authority recently welcomed Mr. Rudiger Heinz and his wife Vera to Malta for the 86th time in the past 34 years.
The German couple have been visiting the island at least twice a year since they came here for the first time in 1984.
When asked what their favourite things about Malta were, the couple answered that the overall best experience they had was the general friendliness of the Maltese people. The couple said that over the years they have made many friends and so two weeks out of their three week stays is usually dedicated to meeting with their local friends and doing things together.
Mr Heinz is often referred to as ‘The Malta Man’ by their friends in Germany as he owns around 400 books dedicated to the Maltese Islands, while Mrs Heinz often prepares
traditional Maltese food from recipe books she bought during her visits.
MTA CEO, Paul Bugeja presented Mr and Mrs Heinz with two Malta books to add to their collection.
