In recent years a small island sixty miles off the coast of Sicily has garnered attention from the worldwide LGBT community. Malta's progressive stance on marriage equality and same-sex partnerships is only one reason why the island is such a great escape. Most recently the picturesque Mediterranean nation was recognized as the #1 LGBT friendly European country by ILGA-Europe.
The welcoming environment has gay travelers flocking to Malta's beaches and small towns. Just a quick flight or ferry ride from the European mainland, Malta boasts beautiful beaches, plenty of outdoor activities, 300 days of sun a year and over 7,000 years of culture that vaunts its influences over the Egyptian and Roman empires.
As a nod of appreciation to the Global Gay community for their adventure-seeking spirits, Malta Tourism is now offering the chance to explore the beautiful beaches and everything the country has to offer. Two lucky individuals will win an all-expenses-paid, five-day luxury experience in Malta. Escape the winter blues and pack your bags for a trip of a lifetime!
