Name: Astrid on Sep 9, 2006Nationality: MalteseCountry of Residence: MTComments: Hondoq is one of the bays with the cleanest, limpid sea in all Malta and Gozo. Why spoil it with the effluent of a yacht marina Even the developers' report says the beach will be negatively affected and anyone who thinks otherwise doesn't knwo what he's saying. How many people do you see swimming near marinas in Malta Put the Marina in a bay which is already not so clean, like Xatt l-Ahmar, and leave Hondoq as the quiet get-away-from-it-all bay that everyone loves. Thank you, Astrid VellaFlag

Name: Rose Anne on Sep 10, 2006Nationality: MalteseCountry of Residence: MTComments: Ħondoq... għalija jfisser post fejn tistrieħ qalb in-natura, il-baħar b'ilma ċar kristall, il-kwiet qalb il-blat u l-bogħod mill-ħajja ta' kuljum. Jekk se nkomplu naqtgħu l-blat u nkissru n-natura li fadal biex intellgħu l-bini... jekk se nkomplu inħammġu l-bajja minħabba l-marina... jekk se nkomplu noħonqu l-kwiet u l-paċi... mela m'hu se jibqa xejn!! Nitolbok, ħallina ingawdu l-Ħondoq... għalina u għal dawk li jiġu warajna.Flag

Name: Anne on Sep 10, 2006Nationality: MalteseCountry of Residence: MTComments: I have enjoyed snorkelling off the exact spot where the marina mouth is planned. If the proposal goew through it would be an act of violence on this beautiful piece of Gozo coastline with its pristine seas. Why not rehabilitate the quarry as a natural area or used as an orchard.Flag

Name: Arthur G. on Sep 10, 2006Nationality: MalteseCountry of Residence: MTComments: Please, save Hondoq ir-Rummien. The development of this place will seriously militate against the Tourism Industry. We have very few seaside resorts compared to the many in Europe, how can we afford ruining Hondoq ir-Rummien and still talk about tourism!!Flag

Name: Martina on Sep 10, 2006Nationality: BRITISHCountry of Residence: GBComments: Qala has a rare beauty that is reflected in its people and its easy going lifestyle. This would be totally ruined by a development at Hondoq, which is in itself idylic and perfect for the local community to enjoy.Flag

Name: Andrew on Sep 10, 2006Nationality: BritishCountry of Residence: GBComments: I have stayed on Gozo for the past 5 years and Hondoq is one of my favourite places to spend the day. I particularly enjoy the fact that it is also popular with local people. I have also dived there several times. I completely support sustainable development but cannot understand why you would want to ruin this location with the scale of the propsed development.Flag

Why spoil it with the effluent of a yacht marina Even the developers' report says the beach will be negatively affected and anyone who thinks otherwise doesn't know what he's saying. How many people do you see swimming near marinas in Malta Another yacht marina might be good for Gozo, but Hondoq was not even included in Mepa's list of possible sites for new yacht marinas, as it makes no sense to spoil such a clean bay when there are others which are already not so clean. It only makes sense to the developers. The acceptance of this project would mean that developers have more power than Mepa. Gozitan tourism and employment needs more greenery to attract tourists, not more buildings to put them off. Many hotels already employ foreign staff, so any jobs this project would create would not necessarily help Gozitan unemployment. There is also no guarantee that the villas and apartments would not eventually be sold to Maltese. Allowing the building of a whole village Outside Devevelopment Zone would open up all Gozo's unspoilt coasts to development and really spell the end of its unique appeal. Hands off Hondoq! Thank you, Astrid VellaFlag

Name: Alex P on Sep 10, 2006Nationality: Dual Malta & UKCountry of Residence: GBComments: Fifty years ago Malta and Gozo had a uniqueness that appealed to discerning visitors. Since then Malta has been most insensitively developed and now is beyond redemption. However, Gozo continues to appeal to that high worth market segment be they tourists, or foreign holiday homeowners, or retiree settlers. This proposed mega-development of Hondoq ir-Rummien, together with other projects, will sound the final death knell for Gozos differentiation that will permanently damage any sustainable economic model for it.Flag

Name: Anonymous on Sep 11, 2006Nationality: Australian/MalteseCountry of Residence: MTComments: I live in Qala at the moment, I go to Hondoq every day with my friends. We have a wonderful time there. It is a disgrace to destroy the only natural bay in Gozo. The Govement must do something against the project. If they want to do something at Hondoq why don't they do a park that everyone who live or comes to Malta will enjoyFlag
