TOURISM INDUSTRY SCORECARD
How is it possible to monitor and have some progress on the figures when funding for Tourism WA has been slashed, yet we rely on it to assist? Dr E. Constable : It has not been slashed. Mrs C.A. MARTIN : According to the 2009-10 budget, the funding has been slashed. Dr E. CONSTABLE

AnswerView source ↗

Funding was not slashed in the budget to Tourism WA; indeed, extra funding for marketing was put into the budget to make sure that we did support the industry during the economic downturn. We can indeed continue to monitor. We monitor closely through working with the industry and industry players and with the regional tourism organisations on a very close basis.
