Gozo has its own specific needs and, as such, required a national plan, the Gozo Chamber of Commerce and the Gozo Tourism Association told Labour leader Joseph Muscat.

The chamber spoke of the need to complete the Ċirkewwa terminal as passengers had to wait in miserable conditions. It also referred to the construction of an airstrip that would generate more employment and tourism to Gozo and an expanded marina in Mġarr for cruise liners, the MLP said.

The party quoted the association as saying that tourism in Gozo was facing a lack of employees despite the fact that the number of unemployed had gone up.
