Voting has opened for the title of European Best Destination 2015 ­– and Valletta is among the 20 nominees.

Members of the public can vote for their favourite city before February 10.

Even if Malta’s capital does not win the award, it still stands to benefit from online advertising by the European Best Destinations organisation if it finishes in the top 10, the Malta Tourism Authority said.

Last year, Porto in Portugal won the top spot and an independent study showed it brought free publicity worth more than €10 million.

MTA CEO Paul Bugeja said: “The nomination of Valletta is a great honour for Malta.”
