Mr. Paul Kelly:

Yes, we have data around where the visitors spend their money. If the visitor is not there, that money obviously will not be spent, be it in visitor attractions, restaurants, with activity providers, bars and retail, on transport providers and so on. There are a range of areas where we see that. If those businesses go out of business, how attractive will those towns be and how long will it take to build them back up to be attractive tourism destinations? We learned during Covid-19 that it is not possible to turn tourism off like a tap and turn it back on again afterwards. That will be the case and that worries me most about some of those places that showed real promise as developing tourism economies and tourism communities. There are certain towns where almost 100% of the accommodation is gone to Government contracts and because the visitors will not be there, those towns will struggle to get back to being vibrant tourism destinations in the future.
