Three of Malta’s prestigious landmarks the Azure Window in Gozo, the Blue Lagoon in Comino and St. John’s Co-Cathedral in Valletta have been nominated to become the “8th Wonder of the World” at Virtual Tourist.com .
Public voting will be open until September the 30th, which gives people the chance to vote for their favourite landmark.
Nominations have already been received from Tourism Boards, Chambers of Commerce and Visitors Bureaus from around the globe and the public have been asked to vote for their favourite out of more than 200 submissions.
The historical sight with the most votes will be awarded the prestigious title of the ‘8th Wonder of the World’ and receive exposure through a powerful media campaign supported by Virtual Tourist.
MTA CEO Josef Formosa Gauci said:”These landmarks are unique in their own way and represent the rich diversity offered by each of the Maltese Islands. The Azure Window in Gozo is a spectacular natural landmark, Comino’s Blue Lagoon is famous for its dazzling blue waters, whilst St. John’s Co-Cathedral is a gem of Baroque art and houses two Caravaggio masterpieces. We feel that each one of these nominees qualifies as a true wonder.”
Alex Incorvaja, UK Director of the Malta Tourism Authority said:“The Maltese Archipelago has a wealth of historic attractions. Each landmark provides an insight into the rich history and culture that Malta has to offer. This trio of natural wonders are spectacular in their own right and each deserves to be nominated for the ‘8th Wonder of the World’.”
