How does a local business have their name and details included in that hotspot so that local tourists can access all of their local services?</text>

RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:44):</by>  Of course, those people are in the local community—many local businesses are involved. The hotspot is connectivity, not a web page, so it's connecting users. You've been to a restaurant, you've been to the Beachport Hotel or Rivoli Bay and you've been down to visit Bob Sneath—or has he moved from Beachport now?—and it is connectivity, so you can share the experiences at those iconic tourism destinations and local businesses. It's not a website they get listed on; it's the ability to connect the traveller with the rest of the world to share photographs, experiences, the food and wine and the wonderful natural beauty we have in our great state with the rest of the world rather than being a website.</text>
