maltatoday | SUNDAY • 6 SEPTEMBER 2020 6 CULTURE Nine Heritage Malta attractions receive 2020 Travellers' Choice Award NINE Heritage Malta attrac- tions have received the 2020 Travellers' Choice Award from Tripadvisor in recognition of their outstanding service and quality. The results of this coveted award programme was based on the quality and quantity of the millions of reviews, opin- ions and ratings collected on Tripadvisor in 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Heritage Malta attrac- tions which have received this prestigious award are the megalithic temples of Ħaġar Qim and Ġgantija, the Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum, St Paul's Catacombs, Fort St Angelo and Fort St Elmo (including the National War Museum), the National Museum of Ar- chaeology, the Palace Ar- moury and Ta' Kola Windmill. These awards form part of the ongoing effort of Tripad- visor, which is the world's largest travel platform, to sup- port the recovery of the tour- ism and hospitality industry following the difficulties ex- perienced by the COVID-19 pandemic. In Tripadvisor's view, through this programme, travellers can benefit from the real-life experiences of other people so that they can plan their perfect trip which meets their needs, budget and style. Winners of the Travellers' Choice Awards consistently earn great reviews from trav- ellers and are ranked within the top 10% of the sites on Tr- ipadvisor. "When considering how tough this year has been to our industry, such news encour- age us to strive harder in or- der to keep ensuring the best service to our visitors. We're passionate about our cultural heritage and these awards re- flect our aim to excel in what we do," said Heritage Malta CEO, Noel Zammit. Ggantija Temples Ta' Kola Windmill St Paul's Catacombs
