Taking to social media, former prime minister Alfred Sant voiced his opinion, which coincided with that of many, that there is massive worry about Gozo’s over-development.
Opposing the airport and tunnel linking Malta to the sister island, Sant’s concerns come after a survey found that all of the participants from various industries on the island felt that the island is losing its charm due to over development.
On a Facebook post, Sant said that the island is becoming like a smaller version of Malta and is losing the attractions which once drew visitors to it. He placed his finger on a whole list of ‘ambiguous intentions’ involved.
‘I cannot understand, for example, how serious tourism promoters in Gozo started to worry about this over-development but at the same time favour the monstrous project which has seemingly gone back onto the shelf – the tunnel between Malta and Gozo.’
He also highlighted how these same ambiguous intentions also back up the airport project which according to Sant, reemerged when it should have been put aside completely.
