I am pleased to confirm that I launched my tourism vision and action plan on Wednesday 15 January. The final document is available on the Department's website. The vision and action plan sets out how we plan to grow our tourism sector over the next 10 years, and I have set a strategic goal that tourism expenditure from overnight visitors will exceed £2 billion by 2035. I am indebted to the Tourism Partnership Board, which helped to identify 17 activities that are critical to achieving that ambition in a way that promotes regional balance, raises productivity, creates good jobs and lowers carbon emissions.
