Well, before I respond, I wanted to first take up this opportunity to pay tribute to Swansea councillor Sybil Crouch, who recently passed away. I know many friends and colleagues in this place and across the country held her in great esteem. Sybil was the first, and so far the only, woman to chair the Arts Council of Wales. She was a person who could easily be described as the vanguard of arts and culture, not just in the south-west, but right across Wales. I've seen tributes pouring in praising her contribution to Welsh politics and culture. Sybil dedicated her life to curating remarkable things for this country, and I'd like to place on record our thanks on behalf of this Welsh Government.

But, in answer to your question, the new international strategy and tourism action plan makes clear our commitment to supporting and investing in international and home-grown events, including business events, and to attracting and developing events that promote tourism in all parts of Wales, including south-west Wales.
