An introduction to the range of medical treatments available in malta and why it offers a good alternative to private treatment in the UK.

Malta had a superb 2007 with the most visitors for six years and is hoping for a record number of visitors in 2008. The island is investing in tourist friendly attractions to ensure their holiday on the island is a good one.

The number of holidays being taken in 2009 is going to be lower than previous years...Malta is trying to tap into a younger market in the hope of broadening her appeal.

Holiday makers and business people visiting Malta are enjoying lower fares since the introduction of low cost airlines late last year. Not only has their choice of airline and airports serving Malta widened considerably, but the perennial favourite of many business and holiday travellers, Air Malta, has fought back against the new low cost airlines with reduced fares and offers of their own.

Maltese property has been rising in value in recent years, like much of the European real estate market. Just as other places see property values fall sharply, new markets could help Malta survive the property price drops.

The national airline of Malta has had a rough ride in the last couple of years as new airlines have started competing on the same routes. But the airline is fighting back and has put together a deal which will see her carry more holidaymakers to Malta for summer 2008.

If you are considering a Mediterranean holiday, don't forget to look at what Malta has to offer - and other Mediterranean islands are full of holiday promise too.

Hotels throughout the world have come to the realization that they must strive to be environmentally friendly.

While much of Europe is nervous about property prices falling in 2008, Malta is joining the Euro and it could have a positive imppact on the island's property prices.

If you're wondering where to go on holiday this year and have done the usual tourist hotspots - why not visit Malta, a little but friendly Mediterranean island?
