International Tourism Marketing

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (14:39): Yes, thank you. Supplementary: has the government done any modelling about the potential impact of these less than positive cuts?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:39): I just outlined a range of measures that we are implementing to grow our tourism sector. We have a 2030 plan. I could go back through the whole list, but I think that would be an abuse of question time. We have some significant strategies in place to keep driving South Australian tourism numbers towards the goal of $8 billion by 2020 and on to our goal of what we will have at 2030. We are investing in tourism. There is record investment in infrastructure and record investment in tourism marketing.

The PRESIDENT: I ask the crossbench to take note of the opposition benches. Please show some respect for the crossbench. I am trying to get to their questions. Push me much further and next sitting week we might have a crossbencher day. The Hon. Mr Hood.
