National Tourism Development Authority Bill, 2002: Second Stage.

 

Senators Feighan, Kitt and others referred to the less developed areas. In so far as the product is concerned, the new tourism development policy is strongly biased towards the less developed areas. We need to spread the benefits of tourism around the country. There is specific focus in the tourism product development scheme on developing niche products in the least developed tourism areas. I expect the authority to have a strong focus on spreading the benefits of tourism. Bord Fáilte Éireann's Tourism Development Plan 2000-2006 identified the causes and major areas in relation to this.
