State Regional Visitor Strategy

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (15:22): Further supplementary: so can I just clarify from the minister's answer that there are zero dollars put aside for the implementation of the Regional Visitor Strategy in this budget?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (15:22): Some of the things don't require money. It's about attitude, it's about leadership and it's about having a relationship, like the one that I now have with Rex airlines because as I reported, in the 16 years that that lot have been in government they had never, ever gone to meet with Rex airlines, actually having a conversation. So we are doing a range of things. The Tourism Commission and the cabinet are well aware of the issues that were raised and we are working through them, and we will be funding them when we want to fund them and in a way that gets the biggest benefit to regional South Australia.
