Mr. Maurice Pratt:

The local authorities have a key role to play. During the more difficult economic times, there was a reduction in the number of tourist development officers in the country. Now, as I understand it, there is again a tourism development officer in every local authority. That goes back to what is the local authority's tourism development plan? What does it involve in respect of new product and how is it being aligned with the planning development and planning policy within that area? How is it being made attractive for a hotel operator or for a mixed development to come in? There are other developments where we can see a mix of retail along with hotel accommodation and other facilities such as medical centres etc. Putting those elements of social fabric and social infrastructure together is the way to approach that issue.
