I am very interested in what the Gozo Tourism Association will say to this.
Why?
I offered the Government and them now since 18 years, to bring THOUSANDS of Tourists in the Winter time!!!
BUT . . .
I have no idea what is wrong with these people.
It would be so easy and does not cost a lot.
Everything is on the island.
No extra building, just cleaning and make it safe!!!
Cleaning makes progress and recently the Reverse Vending Machine was invented in Malta and Gozo alike. You will get 10 cents for each plastic bottle and beer tin you return to Lidl and elsewhere.Also tourists can participate.
