New guidebook for visitors

A new publication Inmalta - an informative and useful one-stop travel handbook - has just hit the news-stands.

The comprehensive, user-friendly magazine is aimed at visitors, even long-term, to the Maltese Islands, providing them with detailed and practical information related to Malta and what it has to offer.

Published by Minx Co. Ltd, Inmalta is intended to fill a vacuum in the market of guidebooks, focusing on extensive, easy-to-follow listings.

The brainchild of Helena Tua, Sarah Mifsud and Sarah Gasan, Inmalta should also be useful to locals as a reference for useful contact details.

The contents cover a wide range of what a visitor to Malta - from a student to a businessman - may need. It includes bus schedules in the transport section to listings of museums and shops, complete with opening hours, and even religious services.

Apart from general information on Malta, the magazine zooms into nightlife, entertainment, events and accommodation. It also includes an exhaustive eating-out guide and a business and services directory, with information as varied as where to repair a laptop to yacht maintenance; as well as details on car rental and what to do when a vehicle breaks down.

Inmalta also contains maps and information on climate and public holidays.

The quarterly magazine is updated every season. It is being distributed to hotels and sold for 99 cents at major tourist outlets.
