Tourism Career Awareness Interactive DVD
In February 2008, the MTA launched the Tourism Career Awareness DVD. This 20-minute educational music DVD, features Ira Losco who follows a tourist during his seven-day stay in Malta, identifying the various careers in the tourism industry. The aim is to highlight the myriad of careers available in the tourism industry, both directly and indirectly. This DVD has been distributed to all secondary schools in Malta and Gozo. This DVD will facilitate the role of teachers in relation to the dissemination of tourism related information with the final objective of increasing students’ interest to pursue a career in tourism.
Teachers and educators who guide students in their career selection may order a copy by kindly calling IHRD on 2291 5122.

‘The CHOICE Programme aims to raise students’ awareness about the tourism industry and tourism related career opportunities. It gives an overview of the industry and helps students formulate a knowledgeable opinion about this industry. In 2007 the programme was enhanced through our collaboration with the Institute of Tourism Studies (ITS) and the Tourism Studies Association (TSA). To date this programme has reached over 13,000 students.
