Recently, we took an English friend of ours to Gozo. An absolutely lovely day looking around and doing the usual attractions and ending up with what we thought would be the icing on the cake: id-Dwejra.

But what a shock!

One building looks like something from Popeye village, a brown wooden structure that was closed down. Another seemed to be trying to do some business in a very run-down construction. And what about the incomplete boathouses?

That part of Gozo could become the crowning glory of the island. So many tourists were arriving and they looked lost as to what to do when they got there.

Could the roundabout not be restructured to look like a lovely meeting place at the end of a journey.

The ice-cream vans could still be there but in some order and not scattered about. And what about the boathouses that look as if they are remnants of the last war?

Gozo has so much to offer. I appeal to the Minister of Gozo, who has done such wonders at the Citadel, to turn his attention to this other beauty spot which attracts so many tourists.

Let us change it into an activity centreof excellence and have some guides to explain to them what the area is all about, the rock formation and how the area came to be the way it is geologically. Please, please, do not let wandering visitors still climb and walk over the Azure Window. They are damaging the structure and could cause a fatality.

Let us make Gozo what it should be: the second crown of the Maltese islands.
