National Tourism Development Authority Bill, 2002: Second Stage.

 

Some Senators mentioned the terms of office of directors. A five-year term is not unreasonable in terms of general practice and it does allow for some continuity. There is also provision for rotation in the Bill and a two-term limit. I fully agree with Senator Quinn that we must continually update the nature and quality of our product to meet evolving consumer demand, a point echoed by other Senators. It is a topic we will have to address in the review of tourism policy. I also agree that numbers cannot be the sole focus. I said in my speech that we must focus on yield as well.
