That a country with only 17 miles in length and 9 miles across can be fascinating enough to pull in travellers all around the world may remain unintelligible to people who either have not visited Malta or not heard of its huge tourism industry. The fact that the country imports almost all its foods and other consumer goods and it depends on tourism to generate the required revenue is enough to realise what a holiday to Malta island can be.
With a history of more than a few thousand years, Malta island boasts of home to some of the most attractive historical sights in the world. Together with this, there are the rich cultural heritage, nightlife and round the year festivities to make a holiday to Malta island more than simply a travel tour. It is not for nothing that the Hollywood movies like Troy, Gladiator and Alexander were filmed on the sunny shore of the island!
