The first Valletta 2018 Regional Office was inaugurated on Friday morning in Gozo, by the Tourism Minister Edward Zammit Lewis, together with the Valletta 2018 Foundation Chairman Jason Micallef, Malta Tourism Authority Chairman Gavin Gulia and Malta Tourism Authority CEO Paul Bugeja.
Situated on the second floor of the building which houses the Malta Tourism Authority Information Office, at Independence Square, Victoria, the Valletta 2018 Gozo Regional Office will serve as a contact point between the Valletta 2018 Foundation and the Gozitan community.
Addressing a press conference, Valletta 2018 Chairman Jason Micallef highlighted that Valletta 2018 is a celebration of a nation which does not start or finish in Valletta. In fact, Valletta 2018 is bringing about cultural, economic and social regeneration in Malta and Gozo.
Noting that Gozo is a region, Mr Micallef stated that Valletta 2018 needs to have a lasting legacy in Gozo too.
Among the Valletta 2018 events to be held in Gozo over the coming months is Qatt Ma Ninsa – a collective memory project which is being organised together with Heritage Malta on the 24th and 25th of October at Independence Square.
Tourism Minister Edward Zammit Lewis then went on to visit the ‘Quaint Boutique Hotel’ [1] in Nadur, which had its official opening in May.
