We have had a great period of sunshine and tourism is doing exceptionally well. Tourism is our oil and our gas, with our scenery and our people being our greatest natural resource. I would like a debate with the Minister for tourism on a long-term strategy. We need significant capital investment in tourism because we do not get this weather too often. We need to ensure we have a tourism infrastructure that is not weather-dependent and embraces the different weather we have by giving people the opportunity to have a great experience irrespective of the weather.
