Touring Club Malta was established in 1984 with the aim of promoting travel, culture and social activities among its members. The club has evolved over the years and is now aregistered NGO and an affiliate of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) which is a worldwide federation of Motoring and Touring Clubs, bringing together some 220 member clubs in five continents.

Being one the first entities to sign The European Road Safety Charter, Touring Club Malta plays an active role in promoting road safety education at all levels of society in order to reduce road fatalities and injuries on the Maltese road network. This can only be achieved if both drivers and authorities cooperate together. Touring Club is here to support that synergy by giving a voice to Maltese drivers. There can only be evolution through a proper feedback system between authorities and road users.
