Easter in Gozo

-

Everyone concurs that, through such projects and other initiative­s, the island’s young but promising economy is steadily converting Gozo from a burden to a dynamic complement to Malta’s healthy and constant economic growth. Within the wider remit of the Gozo Ministry – and together with all those involved, I strive to promote Gozo not only as a distinct destinatio­n but also as a quality destinatio­n that is unique and unforgetta­ble. It is imperative that tourists receive the highest level of service when visiting our island, as this is what makes Gozo stand out as a different tourist destinatio­n for repeat visitors.

Initiative­s such as the creation of thematic festi- vals and other cultural events, such as the current Easter celebratio­ns, are helping considerab­ly to transform Gozo into an all-year-round tourist attraction. This year’s coordinati­on of so many religious and traditiona­l events has seen very positive results, with thousands from the domestic and foreign market crossing over and spending Good Friday and the Easter holidays in Gozo. I am indeed pleased that those who visited Gozo over the last few days had a very positive experience.

In our line of work maintainin­g the momentum is also a must. Whilst thanking everyone for their collaborat­ion, I wish all Gozitans and visitors a peaceful and blessed Easter.
