Tourism is important to our city. For buses to be able to bring tourists into the city and access hotels, it is important that DFI works in conjunction with private bus companies. I was informed today that DFI has put a ban on private bus companies allowing their passengers to get off at the Europa Hotel, which is forcing visitors to have to cart their bags through the city centre. Will the Minister commit to looking at how that regulation is impacting on tourists coming to our city? The Europa Hotel, the most bombed hotel in Europe, has not only survived but is now thriving. Let us not let it die from DFI over-regulation.
