Tourism Industry: Statements (Resumed).

 

We must provide for special interest tourism, such as eco-tourism. Regional tourism organisations must be reorganised. I come from the midlands and I am part of the midlands east tourism organisation. However, my area has very little in common with counties such as Wicklow, Kildare and Kilkenny and always comes at the bottom of the list when funding is being distributed. County Longford is part of the west and inappropriately placed in the Midlands Health Board region and the midlands east tourism organisation. The regional tourism organisations must be realigned. Counties Longford, Westmeath, Cavan and Roscommon could be included in a regional tourism organisation in order that the products in those counties could be marketed properly.
