“An alternative look at tourism in Gozo – How Social Tourism and Taxi Drivers come into the Picture.”

Two Gozo tourism related papers, originally presented during the 2nd Island Dynamics Conference which was held last May in Valletta, will be presented for the first time to the Gozitan public.

The two papers: “Exploring the Socio-Cultural Framework for Social Tourism on Gozo, Malta,” by Marjan Moris and Jori Decoster and “Gozitan Taxi Drivers as Cultural Brokers,” researched by Vicky Steylaerts (all from the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium) will be presented at the Circolo Gozitano, 6, Sir Adrian Dingli Street, Victoria, Gozo on Tuesday, the 12th of July, starting at 8pm and lasting about ninety minutes.

These papers are the result of anthropological fieldwork carried out by students and academic staff over the last 5 years on the island, in the context of Expeditions Summer School for Anthropology. Background information to the Expeditions project on Gozo can be found at http://www.anthropologyfieldschool.org/.

A group of students, attending this year’s summer school will be very interested in meeting members of the general public to learn more about Gozo.

After the activity end attendees are invited to continue the discussion over dinner. A delicious meal will be prepared by Maji. Price is €20 per person. Booking on Mob. No: 99456851 is required.

No bookings are required from those who will be only attending only for the presentations of the two research papers.
