Tourism Industry: Statements (Resumed).

 

It is important that we do not simply promote tourism because of the resultant economic benefits. We should do so for a far more important and broader reason. Tourism will only flourish in a peaceful and just society. It has a major role to play in bringing people together and giving them a better understanding of each other's culture. We have a fine and healthy culture in this country and a facility with people. It is up to the Government to ensure the proper infrastructure is in place for the development of tourism and to make it work.
