Minister for Gozo Clint Camilleri has launched two schemes aimed at incentivising the tourism sector in Gozo.
During the launch, Minister Clint Camilleri reiterated that now that the tourism sector is recovering and establishments are reporting good results, we need to take the opportunity to assist with aid schemes to continue improving the tourism sector in Gozo.
“Through these schemes, which complement the strategy being embraced by the Ministry for Gozo, we are inspiring that, in addition to continuing to increase the number of visitors both local and foreign, we encourage them to spend more days in Gozo. and, why not, they practice some different sports that every time they go to Gozo is becoming synonymous with them, ”said Minister Camilleri.
Director of Tourism and Economic Development Ronald Sultana said that through these schemes, applicants will be reimbursed for the capital cost incurred and that these schemes will remain eligible until December 2023.

The adventure tourism niche is synonymous with the VisitGozo brand, as Gozo is projected as an ideal destination for practicing similar experiences, including diving, kayaking, cycling and rock-climbing.
