Some good news emerging in this difficult period has been the ongoing strength of the home tourism market. The most recent figures show that the hotel bed night sales in the market have risen by 15% this year. This surely highlights the importance of the domestic market to the tourism industry. That is the reason the National Tourism Development Authority is such an important addition to the tourism structure. A new strategy needs to be put in place for the future of tourism in order that we can make the most of this great resource in terms of foreign markets and the domestic market. The new structure allows us this opportunity by providing scope to implement change across the industry instead of having to develop a co-operative approach where various aspects would have pulled in the direction that may best suit their particular niche.
