Part of 2. Questions to the Minister for International Relations and Welsh Language – in the Senedd at 2:53 pm on 5 February 2020.
Thank you. Well, you'll be aware that the new tourism strategy has now been launched, and I know that major events is a part of that strategy. We're currently undertaking a review of major events and I'm hoping that we'll look at some of these issues in that context, because I think one of the things that's happened in the past is that we're just constantly waiting for people to come and present us with ideas, and sometimes I think we need to be encouraging people in particular areas to come forward with some ideas for major events. We've been working very closely with local authorities over the years, but, obviously, there's a pot of money that we can only use once. So, the key thing is, I think, for people to come up with really creative ideas in terms of what they think will bring more people into the area and bring that essential extra revenue that is so crucial to developing our communities.
