TOURISM RECOVERY FUND
444. Mr
D.T. REDMAN to the Minister for Tourism:
I
have a supplementary question. Given, as has been suggested to me, that a thousand
businesses out of 28 000 tourism businesses applied for funding, who
advised the minister to limit applications to only accredited businesses?

AnswerView source ↗

As I explained, the amount of money
dictated the number of grants that it might have been possible to distribute.
The advice on what the framework might look like was from Tourism WA, the
agency that advises the government about tourism matters.
