National Tourism Development Authority Bill, 2002: Second Stage.

 

As a matter of principle, I consider it essential that the authority conform to overall Government policy, and tourism policy in particular. As Minister, I am responsible for setting overall tourism policy, and I do not believe the authority should be free to ignore or depart from that policy. I do not believe it will, but it is important that I have the power to ensure it does not. This is a standard provision for other State agencies.
