Since the 1997/98 financial year all decisions regarding funding to tourist bureaux have been made at the local level. This is in the form of direct funding from local government authorities or via one of the ten Regional Tourism Associations (RTAs). It is this local decision making at the RTA level that ultimately determines what level of funding will be apportioned to each bureau and is generally made after appropriate consultation is undertaken. The overall funding allocated to the regions has increased significantly during the past five years. The increase has been in the order of 41% to the current year. The following is a breakdown of the total allocated direct funding to be paid by Regional Tourism Associations to the respective Tourist Bureaux in their region for the 2000/2001 financial year.
