20Twenty has always believed in identifying emerging markets so as to nurture relationships early in the cycle to continue diversifying and spreading its reach, thus lowering its dependence on any one market. We had our first exploratory visit in 2023 to attend ITB China in Shanghai plus sales visits in Beijing and Guangzhou. We soon realized that this is not a market for the faint-hearted, and in spite that it was unchartered territory for us, we used our instincts and experience to make our presence felt. In 2025 we visited in May for ITB China and again in September. Since we saw an increasing tangible interest in destination Malta, we employed a Mandarin speaker who just graduated at ITS Graduate in Guiding to lead our China Project. We have since added more firepower in October to assist with the growing requests we are receiving. We are planning to visit again 27 – 29 May 2025. If any hotel wishes to join us, we will be pleased to hear from you.
