Tonio Cini
Operations Executive and Administrator of the Mediterranean Tourism Foundation. MALTA
An operations and events professional with extensive experience in the tourism, hospitality, and motorsport industries. Over the past decade, I have led diverse projects involving event management, stakeholder engagement, and operational strategy across local and international contexts.
As Operations Executive and Administrator at the Malta Hotels and Restaurants Association and Mediterranean Tourism Foundation, I oversee major industry events, manage logistics, and work closely with government entities and private stakeholders to support the development of the tourism and hospitality sector within Malta and the Mediterranean Region. Previously, I managed the Malta office for Liberty International Tourism Group, where I directed operations, coordinated international teams, and delivered customised event solutions, charters and tour operations for a global clientele.
My background also includes serving as President of the Malta Motorsport Federation and as a member of the FIA ASN Development Task Force, appointed by former FIA President Jean Todt and former FIA Deputy President for Sport Graham Stoker. In these roles, I contributed to motorsport governance, strategic development, including the introduction of Formula 4 and built stakeholder relations at both national and international levels.
