“…It also has to be remembered that cultural tourism can play a role in preserving local cultures and therefore can contribute in a direct and positive way to ensuring their sustainability. Boissevain previously demonstrated that tourism in Malta has stimulated dying arts and crafts such as lace making and filigree (Boissevain, 1977) and that tourism has helped build a sense of national identity in a country relatively recently independent after centuries of foreign rule (Boissevain, 1984). Moreover, it seems to have had little effect on family and religious values in Maltese society (Boissevain, 1989): indeed, cultural tourism has redefined religious pageantry, which had previously been dismissed as 'mere folk culture', as an important cultural resource (Boissevain, 1991).…”

During the 1960s and 1970s, Malta's mass tourism industry developed in a relatively unplanned fashion and was characterised by a mixed assortment of benefits and disbenefits, as well as dependence on a narrowly defined market. This paper examines the international trends and government policies that have resulted in the diversification of the tourist industry in Malta since the mid-1980s. Focusing on one particular type of nichemarketing, that of cultural tourism, the paper explores some of the possible impacts following from the changing patterns of tourism. The paper questions whether cultural tourists are a blessing or blight, and considers the emerging implications for the sustainability of tourism in Malta, examining Malta as a sensitive test case for tourism development strategies.

Fieldwork is one of the hallmarks of anthropology. Almost all students of anthropology have geographical and cultural specializations, ranging from a small group to a nation. Their interest areas are often identified or marked by real or putative boundaries; and it is within these boundaries that anthropologists have “founded” their own villages and tribes — “my village”, “my tribe.”
