20 Mr. Sheehan asked the Minister for Tourism, Transport and Communications if she will define the meaning of the word "tourist" as identified by Bord Fáilte.
For statistical purposes the Central Statistics Office and Bord Fáilte use the World Tourism Organisation's internationally accepted definition of "tourist" i.e. visitors staying for any reason at least 24 hours, but not more than one year, in the country visited.
