Ancient Apocalypse Netflix series
What if everything we know about prehistoric humans is wrong?
Journalist Graham Hancock travels the globe hunting for evidence of mysterious, lost civilizations dating back to the last Ice Age. Ancient Apocalypse is split into eight roughly half-hour-long episodes, over the course of which Hancock explains his theory about ancient civilizations. He believes that there was an advanced culture that existed before known civilizations that fed into ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Mesoamerica, during the period that historians believe all people were hunter-gatherers. Over the course of the docuseries, he travels across the globe from Turkey to Malta to Indonesia to the Bahamas to attempt to prove his points and find where this “lost civilization” may have been based.

Operations Executive
Main Role:
The Operations Executive has a role of key importance as a team member of Colours of Malta. The main duties consist in direct contact with the client and with our main suppliers. The objective is direct communication with both suppliers and clients and to guarantee the best services and prices available to complete the event according to the client’s specifications.
Responsibilities:
Your main responsibility is to receive and create outstanding proposals for group requests interested in hosting their event in Malta. This is where your sales skills must shine, as you’ll need to sell and upsell all the services available. Services include but are not limited to hotel bookings, airport transfers, transportation, restaurants, entertainment and activities. This is done through suppliers, many of which we have a long-standing relationship with.
Operations duties and responsibilities:
The event operations commence once the group arrives in Malta. A group may range from about 10 people to larger groups of a few hundreds. The role involves assisting the client when they are on site and to guarantee that all services are provided to the group as specified in the approved proposal. The main responsibilities are to communicate with the suppliers involved in that group, to try to achieve maximum efficiency. Quick, smart and effective decision-making skills are often required so as to always provide the best solutions to the client when things don’t go as planned or when problems arise. During the organisation and actual operation of the event, there will be various Colours of Malta team members to liaise and coordinate with so as to ensure a smooth and successful event outcome.
Requirements:
Fluent in English and Italian – any other languages are considered an asset.
Proficient in microsoft power point, excel etc.
Have you got what it takes? If so, we’d love to hear from you.

Colours of Malta are finalists for the Leader in Quality Tourism Award
We are very proud to announce that we have been selected as finalists for the Leader in Quality Tourism Award. This award is designed to recognise the private sector as a leading contributor to the Tourism sector in the largest business event held on a national level. Recognising wellbeing, innovation, sustainability, smart solutions and strategies, these awards give local entities the opportunity to showcase their achievements and success stories.
We consider ourselves to be leaders in quality tourism as we are now offering a more sustainable event design. Event sustainability is one of the fastest-growing trends in the meetings industry, and for good reason. Us planners have a vital role to play in addressing some of the sustainability challenges we face as a planet, and as younger, more climate-conscious delegates start attending our events, it may not be long before being a fully certified sustainable event is the only type of event to attend!

Fingers crossed!
