I am in the process of beginning further discussions on the coming two years of budgets, but the proof is in the eating, so to speak, or in this case in the nominations received by our various campaigns and, indeed, the awards that have come the way of Visit Wales—for the nature of their campaigns and the way that they generate a response. Thematic years is but one part of that, another part that doesn't fall directly upon my responsibilities but is clearly a part of tourism is major events. There were 35 major events supported by Welsh Government—cultural, specifically, and sporting, which also is of course cultural. We estimate that about 350,000 visitors travelled to Wales to enjoy these events, generating an additional spending of £52 million and supporting 1,215 jobs. That commitment to supporting events throughout Wales remains, of course, and increases. In south-east Wales: the Newport Wales marathon; the Festival of Voice, close by here; and we are looking forward very much to the Volvo Ocean Race, where Cardiff is one of the great international maritime cities that is part of the destinations covered by this race.

So, we are not at all complacent in relation to the budget, but we are ensuring that we are very sharp in the way it is spent.
