The Minister mentioned the issue of competitiveness, of which there has been a distinct lack in the tourism industry in the past couple of years. We have seen huge increases in tourism costs. It would be appropriate at this time for the Minister to have a word with his colleague, the Minister for Finance, to see if he could look favourably upon VAT reform in the upcoming budget to place us on a more level playing field with our European counterparts. The rate of VAT is much lower in many countries.
