Rather than taking these decisions in isolation and doing one-off investments, if both governments had followed through on the elaboration of the national tourism strategy that Minister Rock announced in December 2003, then when it came time to decide on the kinds of investments to make or where to make cuts, we would have had a rational overall plan in which to fit those kinds of things. I'd like to see the elaboration of a national tourism strategy. I think that would help, and then we'd understand whether an investment in marketing was more appropriate than one in the VRP.
