HC Deb 14 December 1992 vol 216 c37W
11. Mr. Ian Bruce

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make a statement on the latest statistics on tourism within Wales.

Sir Wyn Roberts

Despite world-wide economic difficulties the tourism industry in Wales has held up well in 1991. There was an increase of nearly 6 per cent. in the number of tourism trips taken in Wales by United Kingdom residents in 1991 compared with 1990, while expenditure by overnight and overseas visitors remained constant.
