As we approach 2025, Malta is emerging as a go-to destination for corporate meetings and incentive trips. With its strategic location, stunning venues, and growing connectivity, it’s no wonder that planners are increasingly choosing the Maltese Islands for their events. Here are the top 10 reasons why Malta is set to trend in the meetings and incentives landscape next year.

1. Enhanced Connectivity

Malta has always been well-connected, but recent additions to its flight network make it even more accessible. The introduction of direct and frequent flights to Scandinavia enhances connections for Nordic attendees. Additionally, more flights to the UK and Ireland facilitate easier access for corporate travellers from these regions. Notably, Delta Airlines is set to open a gateway to Malta through Catania, Sicily, in mid-2025, allowing seamless travel between the two destinations. This development is expected to further boost Malta’s appeal for international meetings.

2. New Hotel Openings

The hotel landscape in Malta is thriving, with exciting new properties like ME Malta and Barceló Fortina Malta joining the scene. These hotels provide modern amenities, excellent meeting facilities, and breathtaking views, enhancing the overall experience for corporate guests.

3. Ideal Weather Year-Round

With over 300 days of sunshine and an average annual temperature of 23°C, Malta boasts one of the best climates in Europe. This mild weather makes it perfect for outdoor events, allowing for unique dining and networking experiences in beautiful settings.

4. Exclusivity and Competitive Pricing in Shoulder Months

The shoulder months from January to March offer excellent pricing and exclusivity. With fewer tourists, businesses can secure the best venues and accommodations at competitive rates. We also have excellent last-minute offers from leading hotels in St. Julian’s, making it an even more attractive option for those planning large-scale kickoff meetings.

5. Rich Historical Venues

Malta’s unique charm lies in its rich history. From ancient forts to megalithic temples and stylish boutique hotels housed in former palaces, there’s a multitude of distinctive venues that can accommodate various event styles and sizes, ensuring a memorable backdrop for any gathering.

6. Outstanding Conference Facilities

The islands feature state-of-the-art conference centers, including the Mediterranean Conference Centre in Valletta. This venue not only offers modern meeting facilities but is also steeped in history, providing a remarkable setting for corporate events.

7. Diverse Culinary Scene

Malta’s gastronomy is a feast for the senses, with a blend of Mediterranean flavours and fresh local ingredients. The culinary offerings enhance the overall event experience, making meals an opportunity for networking and cultural exploration.

8. Eco-Certified Accommodation Options

With sustainability becoming increasingly important, many hotels in Malta prioritize eco-friendly practices. Notable eco-certified options include The Westin Dragonara Resort and Hilton Malta, both of which are committed to reducing their carbon footprint and promoting sustainable tourism.

9. Multilingual and Professional Service

With English as one of its official languages and many locals fluent in multiple languages, Malta boasts a skilled workforce ready to cater to diverse international clients. This ensures seamless communication and high-quality service throughout any event.

10. Local Support for Conferences

Malta offers various support schemes for association meetings, including refundable VAT for conferences held on the islands. The Malta Tourism Authority provides resources and assistance to ensure a smooth planning process for organizers.
