<strong>Gozo</strong>expo<br />
<strong>2019</strong><br />
It is with pleasure that as Minister for <strong>Gozo</strong> I welcome the <strong>Gozo</strong> <strong>Expo</strong> <strong>2019</strong> to our islandregion.<br />
Gozitans are renowned for their great sense of entrepreneurship, their resilience<br />
and determination to succeed. With these remarkable qualities they led their families<br />
and the island to prosperity, turning adversities into opportunities, as the island forged<br />
ahead against a backdrop of national and international challenges.<br />
Skills and experience , determination and ambition in many fields of economic activity<br />
in <strong>Gozo</strong> have been the healthy components of an admirable economic expansion for the<br />
island’s economy in general. From a situation where <strong>Gozo</strong> depended for long decades<br />
on the country’s economic state, we have last year reached gross value-added levels,<br />
placing <strong>Gozo</strong> as a contributor of 4.2% to the national economy in recent years.<br />
Private entrepreneurship, strengthened by numerous financial measures and fiscal<br />
incentives by Government, are indeed a strong basis for economic growth. In turn this<br />
directly reflects positively on the social well-being of our families . The <strong>Gozo</strong> Ministry<br />
incessantly ensures that tailor-made measures are in place for small and medium<br />
enterprises to overcome the double insularity challenge towards a level playing-field for<br />
competitiveness.<br />
These economic and financial safeguards are coupled with a long list of strong<br />
investment in capital projects and accompanied by a flourishing activity that promotes<br />
<strong>Gozo</strong> as a distinct yearround destination that reached a record of six million passengers<br />
during 2018. The increasing success within the hospitality sector provide the necessary<br />
encouragement - both for the Ministry and the private sector - to strive further in the<br />
coming months and years.<br />
We encourage and recommend you dedicate your efforts to contribute substantially<br />
to the quality of the <strong>Gozo</strong> EXPO by effectively participating in the interchange, thus<br />
enhancing the professionalism of your organisation. I believe this high-profile event<br />
can be one of the most productive we have had on in <strong>Gozo</strong> for a long time and our<br />
participation will lead to important improvements that will positively impact the Gozitan<br />
economy, as you accrue the benefits of your involvement.<br />
Refining our product and promoting it internationally are key factors for sustaining the<br />
success achieved so far. <strong>Gozo</strong> <strong>Expo</strong> <strong>2019</strong> should be yet another effective platform<br />
towards that end and we hope you will play a key role in the success of this trade fair<br />
and welcome any opportunities to contribute in this process.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
