Malta Tourism Authority Appoints New CEO

Mr. Paul Bugeja has been appointed as Chief Executive Officer of Malta Tourism Authority (MTA), replacing the outgoing CEO, Mr Josef Formosa Gauci.

Prior to his appointment as CEO of the Malta Tourism Authority, Paul held several senior posts at Corinthia Hotels, most recently, as CFO for the Hotels Operating Divisions and Group Monitoring Board Director.

He also served this past year as President of the Malta Hotel & Restaurant Association.

Paul said that he looks forward to utilizing his extensive experience acquired in the private sector to strengthen existing initiatives as well as to explore new opportunities that will expand tourism to Malta, but in a sustainable manner.

“This past year, with the appointment of an MTA representative in the US, Ms. Michelle Buttigieg, based in New York City, MTA has already made great strides in reestablishing Malta Tourism’s official presence in this mostly untapped market,” he said.
