• In the middle of a war, brought on by the brutal invasion of Ukraine, one might rationally think that there was no place for tourism. In fact, this simply isn’t true, domestic travel still continues and with the positive mindset of young people it can be assumed in a a bright post-war future.

• This is why we are proud to announce the creation of a CFT Chapter in Ukraine. SUN^x Malta has had 4 Students on its postgraduate CFT Diploma with ITS (Institute of Tourism Studies) for the past year and now they are starting their intern year as Chapter leaders. Our Ukraine students are all experienced travel academics and practitioners and together we organized a formal launch of the chapter that took place online on November 4^th. We heard from representatives of the Ukraine Government and Kiev Municipality as well as our new Chapter leaders, plus the Chair and President of SUN^x Malta

Dame Maureen Lipman, award winning UK actress and sister of SUN^x Malta President has I-painted a unique picture to show solidarity with Ukraine and SUN^x will give a signed copy to all members of our new traveller focused Climate Friendly Travel Club
