To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what proposals he has to increase Britain's share of world tourism. [6576]

We set out our main priorities for tourism in the "Breaking New Ground" document. These include: a positive approach from government to the industry; effective marketing of Britain overseas; reinvigorating domestic tourism; improving the quality of the product; jobs, training and investment in people; and sustainable development. We will work in partnership with the industry and others to pursue these priorities and ensure that Britain has a world class tourism industry.
