Since 1988 Island Publications Limited has published specialist titles dealing with Malta’s tourism industry.

Its trade magazine, Island Travel Trader (launched in 1988), rapidly gained a reputation for comprehensive and accurate reporting, and for its in-depth analyses and commentaries on industry developments. Today, the magazine's electronic edition - Island Travel Trader Online - continues that tradition of incisive reporting. Island Travel Trader Online, launched in 1996, was the first magazine in Malta to be available on the internet.

Its annual, Island Travel Yearbook (launched in 1991), has established itself as an essential reference source for all involved in Malta’s travel and tourism industry.

The award-winning Travelmalta.com (launched in 1996) is the online portal for travel and tourism information on Malta. It also hosts Island Travel Trader Online.

The annual Malta Hotels Directory (launched in 1999) is the official accommodation guide of the Maltese islands.

Island Publications Ltd - publishers of travelmalta.com, Island Travel Trader, Island Travel Yearbook and the Malta Hotels Directory - was named "best in media and promotion" at the 2003 Malta Tourism Awards organised by Skål International - Malta.

Travelmalta.com, Malta’s oldest travel website, produces three original content sections plus its flagship title Island Travel Trader Online. The content sites - Consumer corner, Trade connections and Travel tips - are updated whenever necessary.

Consumer corner is aimed at travellers and provides useful information such as weather, an events calendar, a listing of places to visit on the islands and general travel tips.

Trade connections is a travel industry site that includes an email database of industry professionals, listings and links to advertisers’ sites plus links to travel industry associations worldwide.

Travel tips contains feature-length articles offering tips and advice to travellers.

Island Travel Trader Online was conceived to meet the needs of both Malta’s travel trade and of those companies that sell the islands abroad. The digital magazine reports and comments on all aspects of Malta’s travel and tourism industry by carefully blending its editorial content to meet the requirements of its Malta-based readers and those resident abroad.

Island Travel Trader Online is the vehicle by which foreign-based tour wholesalers, travel agents, airlines, hotel chains, conference and exhibition organisers, incentive travel houses and other sellers of the Malta product are kept informed on a regular basis of developments on the islands. Conversely, locally based companies have a platform from which they can promote their services in a cost effective way.

Island Travel Trader Online is updated frequently, almost daily, and whenever new stories break.
