​Category C : Special Theme Recognition

 

In an effort to spotlight Malta's diverse sectors, a new Special Theme Recognition is being introduced to celebrate Malta’s unique sectors/niches.  This aims to recognise outstanding contributions that promote Malta through niche yet significant themes. The themes for the upcoming editions include LGTBIQ+ Tourism, Faith and Religious Tourism, Screen Tourism.

​

These annual themes are designed to encourage creative, emerging initiatives that reflect Malta’s rich and multifaceted identity. A three-year thematic plan will be unveiled to inspire strategic participation, foster innovation, and ensure fresh and varied content across award editions.

​

The first Recognition, linked to LGBTIQ+ Tourism initiatives undertaken in the past three years (2023,2024 & 2025), will be presented in the upcoming Award Ceremony—setting the stage for a new tradition of celebrating Malta through unique lenses.
