In each year since 2003-04 to 2007-08, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport has contributed £3.6 million to the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform's (DBERR's) Single Programme budget (the “Single Pot”) in respect of the tourism responsibilities of the eight Regional Development Agencies (RDAs) outside London. The Greater London Authority (GLA) is responsible for tourism in London. DCMS has provided £1.9 million each year, since 2001-02 to 2007-08, to the GLA to support the Mayor in the delivery of the GLA's statutory tourism duties. This does not include an additional £19 million in Treasury funding for the Million visitor overseas marketing campaign in 2001-02. This was matched by the private sector. 2 For the period 2007-08, DCMS also gave £750,000 to VisitBritain to support a campaign to promote rural England following the floods and outbreak of foot and mouth of 2007.
