About

Edward Zammit Tabona has been a transformative force of two multimillion family businesses, which were set up by his grandfathers from both sides of the family as a high-end tourism enterprise in the 1960s. Possessing a deep knowledge of the tourism industry, earned from years of working his way up to earn the respect of the family elders, Edward’s vision is focused on diversifying the businesses to ensure the companies are not dependent on just one sector. Today, both the family business portfolios cover hotels and travel services, real estate, old people’s homes, catering, transport, entertainment and insurance. Edward has also been instrumental in spurring the island’s festival tourism with top names, such as the Lost & Found Festival and Cirque du Soleil to Malta, which are a first for the island. Driven by his parents’ philosophy “if you want things in life you have to work for them; not simply expect them to come your way” the 31-year-old has positioned these companies as leaders in their respective fields. Embracing the core values of integrity, innovation, and respect, Edward was also tasked with heading one of the family’s company projects – the massive €100 million redevelopment of a 60,000-square-metre prime site in Sliema. Boasting coveted views of the island’s capital Valletta, this state-of-the art, mixed-use development will be completed by January 2021. Edward is spearheading the transformation of Captain Morgan Cruises. He was among the first to recognise tourism trends and consumers’ ever-changing demands, identifying people’s preference to travel around the island by sea. Backed by a €20 million investment, Edward is catapulting the successful 45-year cruise business into the future with the creation of an innovative one-stop-shop tourism concept — iSeeMalta — and four newly commissioned environment-friendly vessels. At the age of 18, Edward’s first project was as a junior director of Ozo Systems, which had a staff complement of 10. Together with a co-director of the company, Edward worked hard to see the company become a thriving provider of outsourcing personnel to many different segments that today employs over 3,000 employees. The family also has an interest in sea transport – The Valletta Ferry Service – which shuttles more than one million passengers a year to and from Valletta and Sliema and The Three Cities. Edward spent a stint studying in the UK, never forgot the experience of starting at the bottom and remains hungry and passionate to lead the family businesses into exciting new territory.
