1	Maltese	US	There is already another example of a failed monstrosity (the quarry) in the vicinity - please do not add one more, whose overall contribution to the Maltese economy will be dubious at best.

4	Maltese	MT	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.
5	Maltese	MT	Widespread development has to stop. We cannot go on being a huge building site forever.
6	maltese	MT	No to further development!

11	Dual Malta and UK	GB	There are no benefits to Gozitans or tourists from this development.

14	Maltese	MT	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.

17	Maltese	MT	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?!!

21	BRITISH	GB	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.
22	British	GB	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.
23	Maltese	MT	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 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 Vella

25	Dual Malta & UK	GB	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 Gozo’s differentiation that will permanently damage any sustainable economic model for it.

43	Australian/Maltese	MT	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 enjoy
44	Maltese	MT	Try to stop this stupid land use for stupid construction especially in areas that we in Malta lack.

48	Maltese	MT	It is incredible how we persist so pig-headedly in destroying what's left of the Maltese natural environment. Wasn't the destruction of Xlendi Bay proof enough of how short-sighted such development is? Why spend millions on artificial sandy beaches when mother nature has blessed our shores with such natural gems? This plan is just another scheme hatched by real estate speculators parading as tourism developers.
