The new renewal scheme for traditional seaside resorts commenced on 1 July last for a three year period. The purpose of the scheme is to renew and update the tourist amenities and facilities in a certain limited number of seaside resorts.
I stress that this new initiative is a pilot scheme and is thus of an experimental nature. It must, therefore, be applied on a limited basis in order to evaluate its efficacy.
