The fourth edition of the MTA Malta Tourism Press Awards ceremony was recently held at Palazzo Capua in Sliema. The awards were presented by Tourism Minister Karmenu Vella.
The main objective of the awards is to honour journalists, TV producers and photographers worldwide, whose work, published during 2012, contributed to the enhancement of tourism in Malta.
