GOZO has long been known as a
peaceful retreat from the hustle and
bustle of daily life in Malta.
Popular with both the Maltese
and tourists, the Isle of Calypso is
known both for its relatively un-
spoiled natural beauty as for its
historical and cultural attractions.
A previous edition of Trendset-
ting featured a mobile app, Visit-
Malta+, which helps locals and vis-
itors plan their leisure time on the
Maltese islands, offering practical
information on places to visit.
Gozo, however, also has its own
dedicated app: Visit Gozo.
The app, available for iOS and
Android, gathers together a num-
ber of features, including listing
and providing information on out-
door activities in Gozo, attractions,
events, places to eat and modes of
travel.
Visit Gozo also makes it easy to
find a place to stay for a longer
trip to Gozo, listing accommoda-
tion such as farmhouses and hotels
across the island, together with ge-
ographical locations and contact
details.
For each of the features included
in the app, directions to get to the
place in question are also provided.
If one chooses to explore cultural
events on the island, for instance,
the app would, apart from display-
ing details of upcoming events and
their date and location, also pro-
vide Google Maps-style step by
step street directions to get there.
The app, which is developed by
the government, is easy to use, free,
and appears to be constantly up-
dated, therefore serving as a useful
tool for anyone paying a short or
longer visit to the island and pro-
viding a platform for promoting
Gozo and what it has to offer.
