Tourism Industry: Statements (Resumed).
This year the industry continues to experience a number of difficulties. Added to the hurdles I have already mentioned, there are a number of other problems that the industry must face and I will outline those for the House. The slowdown in the economies of some of our key markets such as America, Germany and France will certainly influence the influx of tourism from those areas. There is a downturn in access capacity – which I have already mentioned and will deal with in greater detail – primarily into the western regions and particularly on the transatlantic routes.
