Report of Tourism Policy Review Group: Statements.

 

This report is important at this time, when there are indications that we are losing our edge in the marketplace, especially in the French and German markets. This trend is reflected in the report and on the ground in that the number of tourists, especially Germans, has fallen. That probably has something to do with the economic situation in Germany, but there are indications of an apparent upturn in economic activity there. Given that, it is important that we should concentrate more fully on attracting back the German tourists who used to visit here, especially those who spent time on our canals and waterways, where there has been major developmental work.
