Enthusiasts are being urged to fly flags on rooftops in a national activity to revive the tradition this coming weekend.

The initiative, taken by Tourism Parliamentary Secretary Mario de Marco and Public Consultation Parliamentary Secretary Chris Said, will take place between Saturday and Sunday. Dr de Marco said such activities promoted the islands as a destination where tourists could find something they would not encounter elsewhere.

In Dr Said's view, the activity united all flag enthusiasts to come up with an attraction not just for tourists but also for locals.

They appealed to enthusiasts to participate in the activity in the hope it would become an annual event.
