The Gozo Tourism Association welcomed the decision to give pensioners free travel on Gozo Channel ferries plying between the two islands aimed, with other initiatives, to encourage more Maltese to cross over to Gozo.
Members of the association, it said, were again participating in the scheme by refunding the ferry ticket value to customers spending over Lm10 at their establishments. The initiatives should help the tourism sector in Gozo over the winter period.
