National Tourism Development Authority Bill, 2002: Second Stage.

 

Politicians need to examine how tourism development can be more widely dispersed throughout rural Ireland, outside the honey pot destinations. What is needed is a fresh look at the whole issue of the structures in place to develop the product. The Bill goes some way in this direction. We must question whether the regional authority boards are doing a good job or have outlived their usefulness. I have consulted a number of agencies, representative bodies and community leaders and believe it is time for change.
