Tourism Industry: Statements (Resumed).
It is sometimes forgotten that after an investment of €4.3 billion tourism is a very sophisticated product, which is the reason I initiated the tourism review to chart the course ahead, in 2003 and beyond. Tourism is now a major player in the economy and will very shortly become the largest industry we have, outstripping the agri-food sector. This represents a tremendous performance by an industry which was very much a Cinderella up to 20 years ago and is a tribute to the policies of successive Governments and the industry itself.
