I propose to take Questions Nos. 12 and 29 together.
The high level tourism action plan implementation group, which I appointed to advise on and drive forward the recommendations made by the tourism policy review group, has had five meetings to date. The first meeting of the group was in February 2004 and its next meeting is scheduled for 19 July 2004.
In line with its terms of reference, the implementation group will report to me on a six monthly basis. As I advised the House on 25 May last, the first report of the group is due in August and will outline its work to date and set out progress in implementing the action plan. I understand that the intention is that the first report will include an activity update on the actions recommended by the tourism policy review.
