Commenting on the launch of the Tourism Alliance’s Take Tourism Seriously campaign, Shadow Tourism Minister, Tobias Ellwood said:
"This is a damning verdict on the Government by the tourism industry. The tourism industry needs leadership from the Government. Instead we have seen nothing but neglect with the dropping of a vital PSA target and a lack of vision in how best to regenerate our seaside and regional resorts. Labour has failed the tourism industry and has no interest in putting this right - unless something changes we will not fully harness the opportunities London 2012 could bring."
