Maltese tenor Joseph Calleja has performed at the Royal Concert Hall in Amsterdam. The Malta Tourism Authority invited Dutch travel trade partners and conference specialists to the event.
Malta’s Ambassador to the Netherlands, Joseph Cole, and his wife were also present, as well as Dutch TV presenter Quinty Trustfull and Iris Kroes. The event was prominently covered with an article promoting the Maltese Islands in Holland’s largest daily newspaper De Telegraf, which has a circulation of over 500,000 readers.
The MTA office in the Netherlands also hosted a networking event at the International Association for Shell and Spatial Structures (IASS) symposium at the Muziekgebouw aan’t IJ. This event coincided with one of Europe’s most prestigious nautical events, Sail Amsterdam.
A team of five Maltese engineering graduates took part in a research project for the IASS and their project was accepted to be exhibited at the IASS conference in Amsterdam.
Sail Amsterdam is a gathering of numerous tall ships taking place every five years and, with around two million visitors, is one of the largest public events in Holland.
The MTA office in the Netherlands invited 30 MICE organisers to watch the Sail-In Parade.
