Tourism Industry: Statements (Resumed).
We all know there was a downturn in the number of US visitors coming here. The Minister has clearly said that he did not put resources in place in the peak period. That was a retrograde step. Everybody knows that people mainly go on holidays from May to September. After the bad years of 2001 and 2002 it is regrettable that the Minister did not pursue the issue and invest more money during the peak period. That is the best time to have people travel.
