    Some ideas of how the tempo of life could be reduced with references to sustainability and welfare of residents in Marsaxlokk are discussed below.

    First of all, it is very important to have population numbers kept as low as possible. Thus, by allowing only local development and thus not allowing outside investors to change the vicinity, Marsaxlokk can truly develop the community enhancing the overall living quality. This can make social relations deeper and help to establish the program of a healthy and carefree life.

    Furthermore, marketing of local products is important to boost the economy of the country. Buying from the locals is very essential as it improves revenue circulation while at the same time giving the people pride. Market stands displaying locally produced goods can add a lot of liveliness to the markets, so individuals will enjoy the tastes of the region.

    Another important aspect is to protect heritage buildings. If Marsaxlokk is to restore and improve these structures, it will still achieve a relaxed atmosphere for tourists to roam around the town. Tourism will surely increase because tourists are attached to places considered as unique.

    Promoting traditional arts and craft should also be encouraged to enhance the improvement of the community. Workshops and exhibitions can give an opportunity to promote young workers and local master craftsmen, helping to create personal and cultural values.

    It is important to avoid air pollution to improve everyone’s health and create a peaceful environment .Environmental friendly means of transport should be used and walking or cycling encouraged to reduce traffic and have a peaceful environment.

    Finally, encouraging more of slow food restaurants can also help in urging people to eat with leisure. Since all these businesses focus on the concept of utilizing locally grown food products and the native way of preparing foods these businesses can improve community relations as well as encourage good eating habits.

    By means of such strategies, Marsaxlokk should acknowledge the slow and meaningful existence that will enhance its cultural and natural context recognition.
