HC Deb 22 June 1992 vol 210 c66W
21. Mr. Simon Coombs

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make a statement on the value of Welsh tourism in 1992.

Sir Wyn Roberts

Figures for 1992 are not yet available but in 1991, despite a difficult economic climate, the tourism industry showed considerable resilience. There was an estimated increase of 5 per cent. in the number of tourism trips taken in Wales by United Kingdom residents compared with 1990, while expenditure by domestic tourists remained unchanged at £900 million at current prices.
