This year, the Gozo Tourism Association is celebrating its 20th anniversary. To mark the occasion, the association organised a tree-planting event at Villa Rundle Gardens in Victoria, led by Gozo Minister Justyne Caruana (pictured). The function was followed by a press conference at the Citadel Cultural Centre.
Dr Caruana praised the work of the association for the past 20 years. She said the association has been active not only by strengthening the tourism sector in Gozo, but has also worked closely with the ministry and the government in drawing up new proposals and initiatives for this sector.
Dr Caruana also reiterated the ministry’s commitment in attracting more visitors to Gozo by investing in the island’s infrastructure and by organising specialised activities throughout the year.
GTA chairman Paul Scicluna gave an overview of the achievements and initiatives the association managed to obtain these past 20 years for the benefit of the tourism community in Gozo.
The first general meeting of the association was held on February 11, 1999.
