Glittering dinner to help raise funds for Hospice Malta THE Malta Airport Founda- tion yesterday inaugurated the newly restored 17th-century Ta' Xutu watch tower, which is a historic site of which Din l-Art Ħelwa has guardianship, during an event backdropped by the stunning surroundings of Wied iż-Żurrieq. The opening of the tower was particularly significant to both the Malta Airport Foun- dation and Din l-Art Ħelwa, as it marked the successful com- pletion of the first project that was taken on by the Founda- tion and the tenth restoration project of a coastal fortifica- tion by Din l-Art Ħelwa. The quarter of a million euro Ta' Xutu project, which included equally important boundary landscaping works, was completely funded by the Malta Airport Foundation. The landscaping project in- volved the challenging task of rehabilitating the cliff garigue surrounding the area, which is one of Malta's 34 terrestrial Natura 2000 sites. "The Foundation's support of this project does not stop here with the opening of the newly restored tower. The Founda- tion will remain committed to helping with the upkeep and promotion of this important area over the coming years, so that more locals and tour- ists get to discover this gem in the south of Malta," said Malta Airport Foundation Chairman Fredrick Mifsud Bonnici. The Malta Airport Founda- tion was established in 2014 as part of Malta International Airport's revisited approach to corporate responsibility. The independently adminis- tered Foundation's mission is to support sustainable projects and initiatives that preserve local heritage and the environ- ment for future generations, whilst enhancing the tourism product of the Maltese islands. Din l-Art Ħelwa executive president Prof. Alex Torpiano thanked the Malta Airport Foundation for its financial and encouragment, which enabled the completion of this somewhat challenging under- taking. Prof. Torpiano also had words of appreciation for the Environment and Resources Authority, the advice of which was crucial given the area's en- vironmental importance, the Qrendi Local Council, and Din l-Art Ħelwa volunteers. Malta International Air- port Chief Executive Officer Alan Borg remarked that through the Foundation the airport has already invested significantly in restoration, research, sea and underwater projects, all of which contrib- ute to enriching the visits of tourists who choose Malta as their holiday destination and help the airport give back to the community within which it operates. Minister for Tourism Kon- rad Mizzi applauded the work put into the Ta' Xutu tower restoration and landscaping project, expressing his satis- faction that this complements the Ministry's own efforts aimed at improving Malta's tourism product. Minister Mizzi also com- mended Malta International Airport's efforts to enhance that which the south has to offer to tourists and locals through the Malta Airport Foundation.
