41 Events maltatoday, Sunday, 10 November 2013 Crack the code and win with ROCS There's a trip to London and three nights' accommodation up for grabs – to win simply 'like' the ROCS Group Facebook page and crack the cryptic code. It could be you! The London skyline will come into view for the lucky winner of the latest ROCS Group competition later this month – and there's still time to enter! As part of its on-going campaign, ROCS is inviting fans of their Facebook page to log on and try to crack the secret code – N.E.C.T.W.R.T. Once cracked, the code will reveal the name of the next ROCS Travel campaign, and that name could provide the passport for an incredible break in the English capital, with flights to London and three nights' accommodation for two people. It really is a fantastic prize – especially in the run up to Christmas. All eager participants have to do is visit the ROCS Group Facebook page and click 'like'. Every day, little clues will be revealed to guide people towards the final answer. Around nine clues have already been revealed, including the following five: 'it's about time'; '34 letters, 7 words, 6 spaces', 'the fourth letter stands for a 'noun', '80% of the world's population has this passion!'; and 'as of today until the future!'. You may visit the Facebook page for insight into all the clues so far. All ROCS Facebook fans are invited to try their luck once every day, as well as to encourage their friends, relatives and colleagues to have a go too. Once all the answers have been collected on the final day, the win- ner will be revealed. Should there be a tie, a draw will take place among all the participants who got the answer right; should there be no clear frontrunner, then the person with the most right words will be declared the winner. In the meantime, there is still ample time to enter and a fresh chance to 'crack the code' every 24 hours. Good luck!

From left: MHRA CEO Andrew Agius Muscat, MHRA President Tony Zahra, and GO CEO, Yiannos Michaelide GO has renewed its partnership agreement with the Malta Hotels and Restaurants Association. As a Platinum sponsor of MHRA, GO will continue to provide financial support and world-class quad-play services covering mobile, television, phone and internet to MHRA. This partnership, which was signed by GO CEO, Yiannos Michaelides and by MHRA President, Tony Zahra, will also further cement GO's relationship with MHRA's member-entrepreneurs, many of whom are GO customers. Since its inception, over half a century ago, MHRA has worked to support the growth of Malta's tourism industry. The Association now enjoys respect for its ongoing efforts to support entrepreneurs in the hotel and catering industry who play a major role in the Mal- tese economy. As the principal Association in the tourism sector, MHRA represents the interests of its members on several important national policy making bodies while its contribution towards the improvement of the industry remains valuable and constant. Speaking about the newlysigned partnership agreement, Michaelides said: "We will be joining forces once again with MHRA – an effective achiever which is in step with the changing dynamics of the tourism industry and promoting high standards and quality service in Malta's tourism sector." "GO is, by far, the leading provider of telecommunications services to the Maltese hospitality industry, and the tangible support we offer the MHRA is therefore perfectly aligned with our strategy. We have, for several years been actively involved in several of the Association's high profile events and activities which benefit both the MHRA's members and the Maltese business community at large," he said. Speaking about the sponsorship agreement Zahra said: "GO is Malta's leading communications operator with a reputation of efficiency, reliability and a provider of world class quad-play services. The partnership with GO is strongly aligned to our drive to constantly upgrade of our product and service. GO's role in this respect is two-fold: to provide visitors with top-class communications services and to help the industry maximise the huge benefits and opportunities that the tourism industry has to offer to Malta." Emirates, a global connector of people and places launched its services to Sialkot, its fifth destination in Pakistan. Emirates will operate four weekly flights with an Airbus A330-200 aircraft in a two-class configuration, offering 54 seats in Business Class and 183 in Economy Class. "Pakistan was the first country Emirates flew to just over 28 years ago," said Ahmed Khoory, Emirates' Senior Vice President Commercial Operations, West Asia and Indian Ocean. "Dubai and Pakistan have very close links due to the large community of Pakistanis living in the region and the level of trade between the UAE and Pakistan." "Sialkot International Airport is Pakistan's first privately owned airport," Ashfaq Ahmed Chaudhry, Chairman of Sialkot International Airport, said. "Having Emirates commence operations here will boost the regional economy, and offers Emirates passengers a convenient new entry point to Pakistan through our modern and efficiently run facility." Sialkot is the capital of Sialkot District located in the northeast of the Punjab province in Pakistan. Situated around 125 kilometres north of Lahore, it provides Emirates' customers with an alternative gateway to the Export Triangle of Pakistan – the area encompassing Gujrat, Sialkot and Gujranwala. The city is renowned as a key manufacturing base particularly for sports goods and clothing, gloves, surgical instruments, cutlery, ceramics and leather garments. The Emirates A330-200 operating the Sialkot service can carry up to 17 tonnes of cargo, giving a boost to trade opportunities. The airline operates 66 flights a week to Pakistan including four to Sialkot, 35 to Karachi, 11 each to Lahore and Islamabad and five to Peshawar. Emirates operates four scheduled flights weekly from Malta to Dubai via Larnaka, Cyprus, on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. While on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, Emirates operates direct flights from Dubai to Malta and return flights fly via Tripoli.
