The project will result in the following two high-quality tangible tourism cultural products:1. A state-of-the-art museum dedicated to the Saluting Battery, which will also be connected to the counterguard and will offer modern forms of interpretation including a wireless guided system and an audiovisual presentation. Once the replica cannons are in place an additional firing of the guns combined with a military tattoo will also be added to the repertoire2. A greatly enhanced Malta at War Museum with added floor space for the improved presentation and interpretation of the Homefront experience during WWII.Tourism contributes significantly to Malta’s economic growth, employment creation and foreign exchange earnings. This sector is acknowledged as Malta’s foremost economic activity, generating as much as circa 24.3 per cent of GDP and contributing to an estimate of 29 per cent of full-time employment, amounting to a total of 40,050 direct, indirect and induced full-time and part-time jobs. Malta has 56 museums and historical sites, which are open to the public. In 2005, NSO reported that the number of visitors to museums and historical sites declined by 4.2 per cent over the previous year. At the end of the project the following results will be achieved:a) It is estimated that an incremental increase of approximately 16,000 tourists will visit the upgraded cultural sites in the first year and will keep increasing by an additional 3% for the next ten years with no forecasted growth thereafter as a direct result of the RE.VI.VE EU-funded project.b) An increase in 3.57 per cent in the accessibility of cultural sites (based on the figures that 56 museums are currently open to the public)c) The realization of a communication and awareness campaign to inform beneficiaries on the history and cultural background of the sites
