Malta incentive travel comes to life – destination showcase for MICE planners

Hosted by ECMeetings Malta, Mundus Representation, and Corinthia Palace Hotel & Spa

In an age of virtual site visits and remote research, Malta stands out as a destination that must be lived to be truly understood. That’s exactly what our recent Malta destination showcase for MICE planners set out to prove. Alongside our partners at Mundus Representation and the iconic Corinthia Palace Hotel & Spa, we welcomed a select group of UK event professionals to experience the culture, cuisine, sustainability, and soul of Malta incentive travel—first-hand and unfiltered.

Welcome to Malta – A premier incentive travel destination

Our guests arrived to golden sunshine and Maltese charm, checking into the tranquil Corinthia Palace Hotel & Spa, located beside the Presidential Palace. With its 147 luxurious rooms, lush gardens, state-of-the-art spa, and adaptable meeting spaces for up to 450 delegates, the hotel perfectly reflects what MICE events in Malta can offer—sophistication, serenity, and scalability.

CSR kayak clean-up – purposeful team building for MICE groups

The second day showcased the growing emphasis on sustainability in Malta incentive travel. Guests participated in a guided sea clean-up by kayak in the clear waters of St. Paul’s Bay—an initiative run in collaboration with local NGO Coast is Clear Foundation. This hands-on CSR activity combined eco-conscious engagement with scenic adventure and was topped off with the help of a four-legged “co-captain.”

The journey continued with an interactive Ftira-making workshop at Diar Il Bniet, followed by a hearty home-style lunch. A leisurely afternoon spa break was capped off with a walking tour of Mdina, “The Silent City,” and a festive group dinner back at Corinthia.

Gozo adventure – a true incentive experience

No Malta MICE itinerary is complete without exploring Gozo—Malta’s quieter, greener sister island. From buggy adventures through scenic landscapes to Mixta Cave, the Salt Pans, and Cittadella, guests enjoyed the kind of escape that makes Gozo a digital detox destination.

The highlight? A sea-facing farm-to-fork picnic featuring Gozitan delicacies and local wine. It was a moment that embodied the best of authentic Malta incentive travel—local flavour, heartfelt hospitality, and unforgettable scenery.

The day ended with a gourmet dinner at Chophouse, overlooking the illuminated Valletta skyline—an elegant close to a rich cultural experience.

Valletta’s grand finale – venue inspiration & culinary classics

On the final morning, guests enjoyed a private spa session at Corinthia before heading out for a relaxed walking tour of Valletta. This included visits to top venues for MICE events in Malta, offering both inspiration and practicality for future programs. Of course, no visit would be complete without a warm, flaky Pastizz—a simple pleasure and local favorite.

As the group departed for IMEX Frankfurt, they took with them more than business insights—they left with stories, connections, and a new appreciation for what makes Malta such a powerful destination for MICE planners.
