implemented recommendation No. 2 when it implemented recommendation No. 1, my position, I believe, would have changed. I believe that I would not have opposed the Government's approach on this. I think I made that comment in my speech. I believe that what we need from this Government is an appropriate approach that looks at both sides of the story.

TOURISM AND A.C.T. PROMOTION - STANDING COMMITTEE
Discussion Paper on ACT and Region Tourism

MR DE DOMENICO (12.11): Madam Speaker, I present a discussion paper by the Standing Committee on Tourism and ACT Promotion entitled "ACT and Region Tourism", and I ask for leave to move a motion in relation to the paper.

Leave granted.

MR DE DOMENICO: Madam Speaker, I move:

That the Assembly takes note of the paper.

Tourism is of vital importance to the ACT economy. More than one million visitors directly support an estimated 7,000 jobs in the tourism industry and inject around $8m each week into the economy. The committee is pleased to note from the Chief Minister's statement to the Legislative Assembly on 21 October that the tourism industry's contribution to the ACT economy is properly recognised by the Government.
