§ Mr. Robert BanksTo ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what are the figures for expenditure on overseas marketing by tourist authorities in(a) Germany, (b) France and (c) Spain.
§ Mr. SproatFigures obtained by the British Tourist Authority from the national tourist offices of these countries show the following overseas marketing budgets for 1994.
£ million Germany 10.8 France 32.8 Spain 13.5 It is difficult to be sure exactly what these figures cover because of the very different ways in which each country organises its promotion of tourism. However, the figures for Germany exclude staff costs and any expenditure by the Länder.
