Minister Charles Buhagiar at the Bugibba Action Plan Seminar

A serious long-term programme for the Bugibba area is in preparation whereas a short-term programme is to be implemented immediately. The Minister for Public Works and Construction, Mr. Charles Buhagiar said while addressing the Bugibba Action Plan Seminar.

Minister Charles Buhagiar emphasized the need to concentrate on the Northern Tourist area which has been neglected for a long time. He emphasized the fact that the short-term programme is there to improve the present conditions, so that the various operators could operate better, but it is by no means the end-product that is to be achieved in the long-term. The long-term planning is essential if the Maltese islands are to remain competitive with neighbouring countries.
