A ten-year review of the Irish tourism sector in 2003 predicted that 10 million visitors would visit Ireland on an annual basis by this year. On 11 September 2011, the Department launched a wide-ranging review of Ireland's tourism policy. Views were requested by Friday, 1 November. This report is important for the future of the tourism sector. Does the Minister agree that the figure of ten million visitors can be achieved within five years if there is a supportive policy environment, a clear business strategy and appropriate investment in the tourism sector?
