§ 16. Mr. Simon CoombsTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make a statement on tourism in Wales in 1991.
§ Sir Wyn RobertsAlthough complete figures are not yet available the Wales tourist board expect that, despite a difficult year, tourism in Wales in 1991 will have maintained the impressive levels reached in 1990. Well-targeted investment in the Welsh tourist industry has taken place through a variety of schemes and very careful attention has been give to good quality customer care. My right hon. Friend was very pleased to launch the welcome host training initiative being run by the Wales Tourist board in conjunction with the Welsh training and enterprise councils.
I am confident that the tourist industry in Wales will go from strength to strength and in particular I look forward to the national garden festival which will be held at Ebbw Vale this year.
