Report of Tourism Policy Review Group: Statements.

 

We should be particularly careful with regard to artificial contrivance. For example, in the case of Temple Bar, while the focus is right, the stories emanating from it are not always the most edifying. Restrictions had to be brought in to prevent some of what was happening there. Some visitors came there in the belief that such activities were intended to be part of Temple Bar, whereas, in fact, the intention was to show our strengths as a tourist destination. That is why I believe we should be very careful of artificial contrivance and, instead, focus on building up that which is natural to us.
