The
Company
Abdurrazag Gherwash
(Managing Director of Winzrik Tourism
Services – Libya) and Ivan Mifsud
(Managing Director Mifsud Brothers Ltd
– Malta) met in 1997 at the World
Travel Market in London. Ivan wanted to
expand his cruise business outside Malta
and found he had so much in common with
Abdurrazag, that they formed an alliance
in order to put together a professional
team that would offer quality excursions
in Libya. This alliance is called Libya
cruise Services.
Abdurrazag
studied in the UK as a mechanical engineer
however became Libya’s pioneer in
the tourism industry having started organizing
the first ever groups to Libya in the early
1990’s and today his company, Winzrik
Tourism Services is seen as a leader in
destination management.
Ivan
studied Earth Sciences at Oxford University
but on his return to Malta found himself
attracted to the tourism industry and gradually
took over the family’s tourism and
shipping business (established in 1860).
Ivan grew in this environment from his childhood
following both his father’s and grandfather’s
footsteps. Today he is enjoying using these
skills in developing the cruise services
business in Libya together with partner
and great friend, Abdu.
Maria is a director of
Mifsud Brothers and is responsible for the
Shipping department, The Cruise General
Sales Agency and Libya Shore Excursions.
Together with Abdu, she has handled every
call in Libya since our first cruise call
in 2002. To date Maria has co-coordinated
more than 30 calls and is very knowledgeable
on itinerary planning. She flies to Libya
before every call and is the point of contact
for the ship’s shorex manager.
Much
groundwork has gone into designing, testing
and marketing our shore excursions until
we finally came to operating our first call
in 2002.Libya
cruise Services is now considered the leading
shore excursion provider in all Libya, using
the most modern air-conditioned coaches
with selected tourist guides. Todate we
are the only ground operator with 3rd Party
Liability Cover of over 2 million Euros
(2.5 million US$)
