A SCREEN TOURISM training course for licensed guides has been started by the #Malta Tourism Authority (MTA) in collaboration with the country’s film commission and tourist guides union.
Screen tourism provides a link between a location and a film or television production, during or after the shooting.
So far, 42 licensed guides have successfully completed the ten-hour course.
Malta‘s history as a film location spans more than nine decades, with the first film having been shot on the island in 1925. Versatile locations, a skilled and adaptable workforce, a safe environment, long hours of daylight, competitive rates for crews, artists and extras, and fiscal incentives are among the factors that have attracted movie and television producers and directors.
Says the MTA’s chief executive Paul Bugeja: ‘Screen tourism is a growing phenomenon, with more and more destinations across the globe benefiting from a booming screen industry. Such courses can help provide a higher quality service level to tourists.’
