MALTA HITS THE TOP AGAIN FOR WELCOMING LGBTQ TRAVELLERS
FOR the fifth year running, Malta has been placed first in the ILGA’s European Rainbow Map Index.
Out of a total of 49 European countries, Malta has been awarded an outstanding 89% in recognition of the laws, policies and lifestyles of the LGBTQ community on the island.
First launched in 2009, the European Rainbow Index monitors both the positive and negative impacts on the LGBTQ community and considers a range of factors including legal gender recognition, family and marital issues and rights to asylum.
Tolene Van Der Merwe, director of the UK & Ireland Malta Tourism Authority, said: “We are so proud that Malta has, once again, been heralded as the number one destination for LGBTQ travellers in Europe.”
