United Travel Hosts UAE Familiarisation Trip
This week United Travel, together with the Malta Tourism Authority, Emirates and Hilton Malta, hosted an educational familiarisation trip for eight MICE travel managers and event management companies. Despite the group only being here for just four nights we wanted to try and showcase as much of the Maltese Islands as we could fit into the limited time. The group visited a number of hotels and venues, including the Mediterranean Conference Centre, the Grand Hotel Excelsior, Smart City, Palazzo Parisio, Limestone Heritage, Palazzo Depiro and Xara Palace amongst others. However, their favourite activities were the following: A Visit to a Gozitan Farm During a visit to Gozo, the group visited Rikardu's Farm - a typical Gozitan farm which is well-known for their delicious goats cheese known by the locals as Gbejna meaning "cheeselet". On the farm they were introduced to the farm's herd of goats and even had the opportunity to milk the goats themselves! F
