| 2301 | British | GB | I have been a frequent visitor to Gozo over 30 years and consider it very important that the remaining remoter corners of the island remain as unspoilt as possible. Hondoq has already undergone considerable development and any more would risk ruining it completely |
| 2302 | Maltese | GB | The extension of development zones, largely without public consultation, is a disgrace. The politicians and MEPA officials who let this happen should hang their heads in shame. They have let us all down. |
| 2303 | Maltese | MT | We are destroying our remaining ecological areas ... in the long run I am sure that all this development will also effect our main economic sector i.e. Tourism
Which tourist wants to see building developments (like probably there already are in his/her country) and distruction of the natural environment? |
| 2304 | Maltese | MT | |
| 2305 | british | MT | |
| 2306 | Dutch | MT | We should save these scenic coastal areas and azure seas from development for all to enjoy. |

| 2311 | Maltese | MT | SAVE HONDOQ! |
| 2312 | British | MT | Please think very carefully about the proposed Hondoq project. If this goes ahead Gozo will be ruined forever. The type of people this attempts to attract to Gozo do not come to a peaceful island like Gozo, they prefer to go to the Spanish Costas , South of France, Majorca etc. The results of the destruction will ultimately become a huge 'white elephant'. |
| 2313 | Maltese | MT | Please don't ruin the country's natural sites. |
| 2314 | UK | FR | If reason prevails, this scheme will not be allowed to materialise. Please keep Hondoq unbuilt and accessible to everybody. |
| 2315 | MALTESE | MT | when are these developers ever going to build some shame instead of concrete... |
| 2316 | goziten | MT | Keep up the good work!. We camp at Hondoq every summer we love Hondoq the way it is and we are very much against any project that would distroy the beauty and nature of Hondoq.....Keep on fighting we support you all the way..... |

| 2318 | Maltese | MT | Gozo does not need a yacht marina, or an air strip, or golf courses, or big hotels built under the premise that they will provide employment, then perate for a few years and get re-developed into apartments. So much for employment opportunites in the hospitality industry!. Gozitans don't have to earn a living cleaning guestrooms as chambermaids or serving drinks as waiters. They are intelligent, hard-working, talented and full of initiative. What they need are decent opportunites and assitance in marketing the fruit of their labour. |
| 2319 | Dutch | NL | I come to the Gozo Island for over 10 years. It's so beautiful and quiet because there's no nature (!!!) spoiled by mass tourism - yet (What happened to the Canary Islands by building huge appartments etc.). Gozo has character and exclusivity, let's maintain that!! |
| 2320 | Netherlands | NL | Don't ever change that coastline !
Why ruin the world we live in ? |
| 2321 | British | MT | |
| 2322 | maltese | MT | Well done MHH for this info from this web site It will be a disgrace to ruin this place So the few will fill up their pockets more Where shall we go then to swim |
| 2323 | British | MT | It will be pretty difficult to make Gozo an ECO Island, as promised in the election if it is under concrete! |
| 2324 | BRT | MT | Please leave Hondoq as it is - to develop will destroy the natural beauty - a total waste of money that no one will benefit from once built!! |
| 2325 | British | MT | The destruction of all that is beautiful is gathering pace more rapidly than ever before. The island is suffocating from the fumes of gigantic construction vehicles already. The air quality gets worse with every passing day. Let us keep Hondoq's air and water clean - there is no time to lose! |
| 2326 | British | GB | It would be criminal to see the only undeveloped area of Gozo spoilt by building a Yacht Creek or Hotel or Housing ANYWHERE near Hondoq ir-Rummien. I have been coming to Gozo for 40 years and this spot is my favourite. PLEASE dont spoil it. |

| 2330 | Dutch | NL | Please keep Hondoq as it is. It is one of the most peaceful places I know. |
| 2331 | Belgian | MT | When will the goverment see that with destroying the country sites and waterfronts in Gozo...they are destroying tourism!
In Belgium they have put heavy taxes on buildings; on new ones and on those who are build in the last 10 -20 years but falling apart , or those in shell form....(because those who are able to build a lot...are able to pay the tax a lot...!!!! ) and the goverment gives subsidies to those who restore old buildings..... respect to heritage!!!!! So why doesn't the Maltese goverment do the same??? Then they would show respect for tourism, respect for their own heritage, respect for their environment, respect for their nature!
Then they would prove that they don't have only respect for their friends....the contractors......!!!!! |
| 2332 | maltese/gozo | AU | please leave our gozo as natural as posible our beaches are not far to travel that you need a flat to go to do not allow the atrocity that happened in xlendi and marsalforn happen again |
| 2333 | Maltese | MT | read my article Times of 17th June
Knocking Me down with a feather |

| 2335 | Maltese | MT | We have more than enough development - revamp what already exists and forget about new projects! |

| 2345 | Maltese | MT | If the rape of Gozo keeps on the island will lose its idyllic charm and end up losing its main attraction, ie its unspoilt character. What will be left then to boast about? |
| 2346 | Maltese | MT | |
| 2347 | Maltese | MT | Hondoq ir-Rummien is a very popular picturesque area with tourists and locals alike. Foreign and local scuba divers frequent it all year round also. A yacht marina here would obviously kill that off and totally restrict access to non-residents.
Stop giving in to greedy developers who could not care less about environment degradation, but who would sacrifice ours and our children's right to enjoyment of the nation;s already restricted countryside for the sake of profits. At the rate we are going, Malta is going to end up as a coast to coast concrete mess with no space for its citizens to relax and enjoy scenic beauty without being told to move away because the land is either private (enjoyed by a privileged few) or because there are hunters selfishly utilising huge tracts of countryside for their 'hobby'! Please listen to the wishes of the vast mjority of your citizens and your constituents! Malta can only get smaller and dirtier with the current rate of development we are seeing! Not a very nice image to project to the outside world surely!
After all, greedy developers can hop onto their private planes and go abroad for fresh air anytime they want to spend their profits on luxury holidays, but the majority of Maltese people cannot escape the dust and noise these ABSOLUTE MINORITY leave behind on their 'developments'! These same few probably even own luxurious properties abroad in beautiful, pristine and scenic surroundings and can get away 'from it all' whenever their asthma or hayfever starts playing up! Ordinary citizens have to stay here craddling their inhalers and anti-histamine medications!
Remember, its the MAJORITY who elect a government and not these VERY FEW - at the only time the ordinary citizen gets to give his opinion and choose his government he shall remember everything! |
| 2348 | Maltese | MT | Don't let developers fatten their pockets, to the detriment of our beautiful contryside. |
