Tourism Industry: Statements (Resumed).
Every autumn one reads about the millions of pounds that the marching season has cost industry, the security forces and so on. Tourism is a bit underdeveloped in Northern Ireland, yet it has its fair share of attractions compared with the rest of the country. It is a pity to see it not better developed. If Orange marches could be turned into a tourist attraction as opposed to a tourist turn-off, much better work would be done. That would also have a significant benefit for bordering counties in the north-west.
