Mr Gordon Pisani from Kite Group presented a selection of books to Dr Marie Avellino, Director of the Institute of Tourism, Travel and Culture (ITTC).
The publications donated by Mr Pisani represent the first batch of books which will go towards the new ITTC Library. This will be located inside the new Boardroom which has been equipped with modern facilities for online meetings.
Dr Avellino expressed her thanks to Kite Publishing for this generous donation and hopes that other publishing companies will follow suit. ITTC houses a dedicated unit to research and networking activities related to the main areas of interest to the ITTC and this library will form part of this research unit.
This will be further consolidated through access to Malta Tourism Authority (MTA) research in both printed or soft format. This access which is very useful for the research capability of the ITTC academics was formalised through the recent Memorandum of Understanding which was signed between MTA and ITTC.
