As the Member knows, this was part of our manifesto that people in Wales voted upon just a year ago. It's also a part of the co-operation agreement we have with Plaid Cymru, and Cefin Campbell is indeed the designated lead Member on this. We're drawing on international experience as well as engaging with the local tourism industry, academics and experts to support the development of the levy. As we have gone through on previous occasions and, I know, in your previous questions, levies of this type are a common feature in a range of areas that Members across this Chamber will have visited, across Europe and North America. You probably don't know that you're contributing to a local levy and that that is then being used to invest in those local communities, to further enhance not just the experience of the visitor but also the impact upon the community itself.

A full consultation on the proposal is planned for this autumn to ensure that all voices are heard to inform the design and implementation of a tourism levy. I don't accept the Member's repeated doomsday predictions for a tourism levy and its impact on the economy. I have a great deal more faith and optimism about the future of our tourism economy and the ability to have a tourism economy that will continue to employ people on good rates and not to have a significant or detrimental impact on the community in which tourism takes place.
