My question is to the Minister for Small Business and Minister Assisting the Minister for Tourism, Senator Sherry. Can the minister outline how the Australian tourism industry is recovering from the downturn caused by the global financial crisis, from other economic factors and from recent natural disasters? Is the outlook positive for the industry, its thousands of small business operators, their employees and the communities which depend on the industry?
