| Abstract: | Diving tourists contribute about 12% of all the income from the tourist industry. This niche market forms about 3% of the total market. On a rough estimation here in Gozo we receive between 10,000 and 13,000 diving tourists per year. This niche should be looked after and measures should be well underway to conserve the marine environment, bring in new ideas how to enhance the present dive sites and promote Gozo as a diving destination. The creation of artificial reefs is one way to improve our product and attract from tourists. |
