They are also important sources of foreign exchange earnings. At the same time, such activities create man-induced pressures on the environment, which may gave irreversible repercussions in the long run. They may also have a negative impact on the social relations and the cultures of the host countries. The purpose of this book is to present, in one volume, a number of papers on tourism related policies and on the various impacts of tourism on the island of Gozo. The papers were originally presented during a seminar "Tourism in Gozo", which was held at Hotel Ta' Cenc on January 28,1994.

The aim of the Gozo Centre is not only to organise University courses in Gozo so that, as much as possible, those Gozitans who find it very difficult to attend University courses in Malta, are given an opportunity to study at University level ii} Gozo. The Centre also aims at creating, in Gozo, a total University presence, with its three dimensions, namely teaching, research and cultural development.

I said that in a couple of years Gozo had captured the attention of developers, planners and environmentalists and that everyone had come to recognise the potential of Gozo in tourism. The island could therefore look forward to a prosperous future. Sat, 01 Jan 1994 00:00:00 GMT https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/76478 1994-01-01T00:00:00Z
