The Member received a general tourism briefing from Tourism Western Australia's Chief Executive Officer on 6 June 2006. If the Member wishes, I will organise a separate briefing, by Tourism Western Australia, specifically on Adventure Tourism to assist her to refine her questions to be addressed through this Chamber. Tourism operator activity in National Parks falls under the jurisdiction of the Minister for the Environment. I suggest the Member redirects this question to the appropriate Minister.
