HC Deb 30 June 1998 vol 315 cc127-8W
Mr. Fearn

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what proposals he has to promote sustainable tourism initiatives. [47699]

Mr. Tom Clarke

The Government have recently undertaken a nationwide consultation exercise on sustainable tourism. We have received over 300 responses and these are currently being analysed. They will feed into the development of the new strategy for tourism which my Department will launch later this year and will help update the UK Sustainable Development Strategy which will be published by the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions, also later this year.
