The vandalism carried out by irresponsible individual/s which has contaminated Ghadira ta’ San Raflu in Kercem, one of the most beautiful spots, Gozo is endowed with, has been strongly condemned by the Gozo Tourism Association.

The Association said in a statement that, the contamination with fluids of this picturesque spot “is a clear act of vandalism, tarnishing the natural beauty of one of the islands’ rural areas, while also endangering the existence of several species like ducks, turtles, fish, and frogs.”

The Ghadira ta’ San Raflu is a popular rural attraction both with locals and visitors to Gozo, visited by thousands each year to enjoy the beauty of these pristine surroundings, it said, “therefore damaging Gozo’s natural touristic offer.”

The association stated that “it is a great shame that such vandalism exists and is still practised by very irresponsible persons against society and the environment.”

The GTA appealed to the enforcement authorities to “step up their efforts towards the protection of such sites and investigate all vandalism, and bring those responsible to justice.”

It concluded by urging collaboration with the Kercem Local Council to safeguard and protect this important visitor attraction on Gozo.
