The Gibraltar Tourist Board has announced that it will no longer be producing a printed monthly Calendar of Events as has been the case for many years. Instead, the information will be compiled and collated on its website www.visitgibraltar.gi with regular updates to ensure the information is up to the minute and readily available.
The GSD has described the statement by Minister Linares on GBC last week that Victoria stadium is only being upgraded to a UEFA Category 2.8 Stadium as “extraordinary” adding that it illustrates that the Government “simply appear intent on ploughing ahead” with its plans to build the stadium at Europa Point despite the availability of alternatives.
Gibraltar Tourist Board will soon be introducing a new voluntary passport souvenir stamp which visitors will be able to obtain as an official memento of their visit to the Rock.
The idea developed by locally based accountant Eran Shay, has also been conceived as an innovative promotional tool for the Gibraltar tourist product as it includes the GTB website address www.visitgibraltar.gi
