Thank you for taking an intervention. Absolutely—I think we all in this Chamber want to celebrate what we have to offer in terms of tourism. The difference here is between celebration, making the most of, and exploitation, and I actually welcome the dividing lines that have been made clear today. Conservatives, in everything you have said, seem to be very keen to see tourism as something to exploit Wales. My party is keen to support our communities in which tourism happens, and support tourism businesses that want to be profitable and sustainable. And I would invite the Member to reflect on some of the comments today that seem to be very, very indifferent to those communities that are very heavily affected by the tourism that happens in Wales.
