Tourism report tells industry to offer better value for money

THE tourism industry will be told to offer greater value for money tomorrow in a Government report aimed at reviving the ailing sector.

The report by a Government think-tank is also expected to call for an urgent renegotiation of the US-Ireland airline landing deal, thereby downgrading the existing Shannon stopover.

The report be critical of both Government and industry handling of the tourism sector in recent years and will particularly focus on competitiveness and marketing.
