While the repu-tation of a pristine cultural experience shines through the minds of tourists, in actuality it is notice-able just how Gozitan businesses try to manipulate this presumed authentic standing into a lucrative market. The dichotomy of the tourist “authentic aesthetic” and the globalized, commercialized status of the island are well represented by the island’s capital city of Victoria’s two larger shopping com-plexes, Arkadia and Tigrija Palazz. By comparing these two centers of commerce, I argue that there are two contrasting business sentiments – one that promotes use of a specified Gozitan culture and another which relies more on the more contemporary sense of internationalism. While these two outlooks of representation initially seem divided, a closer look shows contradictions riddled between both spaces that are evocative of the multifaceted modern Gozitan identity. In comparing the two environments, I also present some of the sharp contrasts between customers and employees of these two spaces and smaller shops around Gozo. 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z /library/oar/handle/123456789/126238 Title: Industrji u negozji ta' l-imgħoddi Abstract: Dan l-artiklu jitkellem dwar ditti u negozzji Maltin tal-imgħoddi li kienu jew għadhom jeżistu sal-lum.

These strategies encompassed a wide range of approaches, including the distribution of tokens and cigarette cards. Additionally, high-quality promotional gifts were utilized to foster strong relationships with customers, thereby ensuring their continued patronage and loyalty. Notably, health warnings were absent during this period, and smoking was actively encouraged as a beneficial activity. 2022-10-23T00:00:00Z /library/oar/handle/123456789/121869 Title: Is-suq fil-beraħ : il-vetrina tas-snajja' tradizzjonali Għawdxin Abstract: Illum f'din il-kitba li ġejja se nagħtukom xi ħjiel dwar kif kienet tkun il-ħajja nhar ta' Ħadd fl-inħawi ta' Fejn Savina u l-Pjazza tat-Tokk, illum Pjazza Indipendenza, qabel u ftit wara l-aħħar Gwerra Dinjija (1939-45).
