Malta gives 100-Euro-vouchers to scuba diving tourists
The islands of Malta, Gozo and Comino are a popular diving destination for many divers: clear water, mild temperatures and a short and cheap journey attract countless tourists to the Mediterranean island every year.
Professionals, vacation divers and, of course, novice divers enjoy the diverse flora and fauna, intact reefs, dark caves and a wide variety of shipwrecks at all depths every year.
750,000 euro program for diving tourism
To support diving tourism on the Maltese islands in this difficult year, the Malta Tourism Authority (MTA) has unveiled a funding program:
750,000 euros will be allocated to boost diving tourism in Malta. A total of 100 euros worth of vouchers will be issued, which can be redeemed at licensed local diving schools.
So anyone who has booked a vacation in Malta between June 1 and December 31, 2021, will have the opportunity to apply for a diving voucher at https://bit.ly/divingscheme from April 23, 2021. (A Google account is necessary for the application)
Photo identification and proof of flight booking to and from Malta must be provided for application. After a successful application, the voucher will be sent to the participant by mail.
General conditions
The voucher can only be redeemed once and only by the person who has applied in one of the licensed diving schools. It cannot be paid out in cash and is only valid until 31.12.2021. Applications will be processed in the order in which they are received.
Residents of the Mediterranean island of Malta, are excluded from this offer.
Tourism allowed again after Corona Lockdown
Tourists are to be welcomed back to Malta from June. A financial package for the tourism sector worth around 20 million euros is to help.
New Tourism Minister Clayton Bartolo spoke about Malta's recovery plan at a press conference yesterday. A plan that envisages vaccinated tourists being able to travel Malta unhindered with a digital green passport as proof of vaccination. Non-vaccinated tourists can then present a negative PCR test for entry, as before. Further information - see here.
