Valletta Living History will be granting free access to
all children under the age of 14 when accompanied by a paying adult to view the
audiovisual docudrama on World Tourism Day which falls on the 27th September.
This initiative was taken in order to promote Valletta
and Maltese heritage to the younger generations in order for them to better
appreciate and value what our islands have to offer.
Valletta Living History is a 35 minute historical
reenactment docudrama depicting the history, culture and lifestyle of Malta and
the Maltese. It is screening daily at
the Embassy Complex in St. Lucia Street, Valletta. With the use of original shots, computer
generated imagery and archive footage, this production has managed to
encapsulate the main events in Malta’s chequered history.
World Tourism Day, is a global observance to highlight
tourism’s social, cultural, political and economic value. This year it is being held under the
theme Tourism and Community Development - focusing on the ability of
tourism to empower people and provide them with skills to achieve change in
their local communities. The initiative
is led by the United Nations World Tourism Organisation and locally by the
Malta Tourism Authority.
