SPECIAL TASK FORCE ON DEVELOPING INVESTMENT PROJECT
PIPELINE IN THE EU- MALTA PROJECT LIST
through the ground quickly and is the reason why Gozo always looks
greener for most part of the year.
Gozo’s population of approximately 29,000 is not so much in evidence as
with 7% of the population but 30% of the land mass the population
density is much less in Gozo than in Malta.
Gozo is tranquil, and treasures its peace. For some, the silence can be
overwhelming, but not to those for whom it spells a blessed respite from
the trials and tribulations of everyday life. Gozo is not for those who like
wild clubbing, but for those who treasure their peace of body and soul
and a slow rhythm of life.
Change is slow in Gozo, which adamantly sticks to its tortoise-like pace.
Gozo has still succeeded in retaining its dream-like qualities of peace and
solitude. If Ulysses were to come here today, he would find it even
harder to leave.
Economically Gozo suffers from double insularity. Its potential for high
quality tourism remains largely untapped as in spite of policies to market
Gozo as distinct location from Malta, lack of direct access renders Gozo
in the eyes of the tourist as a place to visit on a day trip from Malta
rather than a place to spend a tranquil holiday in the high quality tourist
accommodation already available in Gozo being 4/5 star hotels of
private farmhouses.
Government believes it could reach its aim to render Gozo as a distinct
tourist destination attractive for high quality tourists who treasure
tranquillity, scenery and history over city bustle and tiring transportation
by giving Gozo direct access by air.
