An agritourism project along Marsalforn road in Xaghra, Gozo could become the first beneficiary of a policy allowing agri tourism development in the countryside. The development is set to include a shop, a winery, tourist accommodation, and other ancillary facilities as being proposed by Ta’ Mena Estates and will be interspered over a 43,995 square metre site in the Ta’ Srug area of Xaghra (as declared in planning application presented to MEPA on 25 August),most of which will be retained for agricultural purposes. But the owners have also declared owning 68 tumoli in the area, thus fulfilling the parameters set by the new policy on agritourism which limits the development of new agri tourism accomodations to holdings larger than 60 tumoli.
