I thank Senators for their contributions on what is the most important and authoritative document on tourism policy and performance in well over a decade. I commend them on the depth and range of their interventions. As I mentioned at the outset, I am aware that all those with a keen interest in the tourism industry eagerly anticipated New Horizons for Irish Tourism: An Agenda for Action. Many who felt that the sector was not fully appreciated for its valuable contribution to national economic development will welcome the views expressed. This may be best illustrated by the absence of the Labour Party from the debate. From the statements in the House today and from recent exchanges in the Dáil, it is clear that tourism is particularly valued at local and regional level. This is not surprising given the number of people actively involved in and benefiting from the sector throughout the country. As the report states, tourism has arguably been the most successful sector of Irish-owned enterprise since the foundation of the State. To put the total revenue of €4 billion from overseas visitors into perspective, the sum is equivalent to more than 50% of the total value of exports by Irish owned manufacturers and more than twice the value of exports by Irish-owned, internationally traded services. Tourism is Ireland's largest indigenous, internationally traded industry.
