The influential US travel magazine Islands has listed Gozo as one of the best 20 islands world wide to live on in its July-August 2007 edition.

Islands is one of the widest-circulated and most trusted travel publications in the United States. Its readership of 500,000 comprises mostly frequent tourists who take more than one annual holiday and stay for an average of seven days at any given holiday.

It compiles two twice-yearly lists and Gozo joined exotic locations such as Grand Cayman, Negros Oriental, Carriacou in Grenada and Vigues in Puerto Rico on the list.
