There is no doubt that tourism is only a minor industry in places outside Dublin, Cork, Kerry, Connemara and Donegal. That is why I welcome the Minister's initiative to establish a national tourism development group. Bord Fáilte must be blamed for placing too much emphasis on the major tourism centres at the expense of other areas which were trying to build up a tourism industry from their own resources. A proper balance was not struck. Too much effort was spent on advertising in foreign tourist markets, such as America. I do not know if statistics are available, but if so they might show that we would have got a good return if we had concentrated on our domestic market.
