Rising Cost of Tourist Accommodation: Discussion
Mr. Tim Fenn:
On the question about the VAT, if the Deputy will allow me answer, a 9% VAT rate is the right rate for our industry when compared with our competitors across Europe. If we go back to 13.5%, there will be only one other country within Europe that will have a higher rate than us. We compete every day of the week for international visitors. We attract people from overseas and have been doing so very successfully-----
