I am totally committed to encouraging tourism in Jersey. I think this is what Jersey really has to offer to the world, a beautiful welcoming and peaceful place tro visit.

It needs to move up the political priority list. By this I do not mean we need to build this or that “to attract the tourists” but simply that we need to bear it in mind.

For instance, “St. Helier” is the most often mentioned downside of Jersey by visitors. But this is crazy, St. Helier is actually quite a pleasant place architecturally, think pedestrian precinct, markets, Royal square. But there is one thing really spoiling it: traffic. (not to mention drunks etc. )

So if the toursits harp about this, maybe we can learn from the places where they come from, with far higher environmental standards. So we need to spend some money. Broad Street scheme could be replicated elsewhere.

We need to try to assess risk in tourism and act accordingly. Most obviously we need to future-proof tourism against peak oil and climate change.

What do YOU mean, when you say “vibrant and interesting environment to live in” – suggesting that this aspect falls short as it is now?

Must admit to liking your laid back manner and dress sense, at the St Clement hustings.
A refreshing change to some of the other’s spin and designer suits!
