The offer to the British tourist authority of an additional £1 million for overseas promotion in 1983–84 announced on 16 March by my hon. Friend will be of benefit to all parts of Britain. The Wales tourist board, whose chairman is a member of the British tourist authority, will seek to take advantage of the increased overseas promotion opportunities, while continuing its present full range of activities on behalf of tourism in Wales.
