The Gozo Business Chamber was represented at the consultative meeting [1] on connectivity held earlier this month organised by the Ministry for Gozo and Planning, which took place at Mgarr Harbour.
Chamber representatives participated in this important discussion bringing together key stakeholders to reflect on the future of Gozo’s accessibility and connectivity.
The session opened with a presentation by Ivan Falzon on traffic patterns and flows through Mgarr Harbour, providing valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities related to mobility between Gozo and Malta, the Chamber said.
This was followed by a panel discussion with the participation of Minister for Gozo and Planning Clint Camilleri, Permanent Secretary Mario Borg, Ronald Sultana, Director for Tourism and Economic Development, and Ivan Falzon.
During the discussion, Michael Galea, who also chairs the Gozo Regional Committee, emphasised the importance of continued investment in infrastructure, particularly the need for a long-term strategic plan for the development of Mgarr Harbour. In this context, he highlighted the relevance of the work being undertaken by the Mgarr Task Force.
Daniel Borg, CEO of the Chamber, reflected on the importance of looking beyond economic figures and focusing on the real impact that policies and projects have on Gozo’s economy and community. He also underlined the importance of broad political consensus in Gozo on strategic projects that are essential for the island’s future.
The Gozo Business Chamber said that it remains committed to actively contributing to discussions and initiatives that strengthen Gozo’s connectivity, accessibility and long-term economic development.
