Report of Tourism Policy Review Group: Statements.
Having recently received the considered views of the Irish Tourist Industry Confederation on the report and the shape of the proposed high level implementation group, I hope to be in a position shortly to establish a small group to drive forward and monitor the action plan. I take this opportunity to mention that Tourism Ireland's market plans for 2004 are already well advanced. I am delighted also that the Exchequer provision for marketing in 2004, under the tourism marketing fund, has been increased by a further 3.5%. In early December, I will launch Tourism Ireland and Fáilte Ireland's joint marketing programme for 2004 and I am confident that next year's campaign can build on this year's performance.
