| Abstract: | In this paper, examined is public sector tourism in Northern Ireland, which is a small Western European country. It was found that its complex web of public sector tourism bodies produced confusion and duplication within the industry. There was a lack of coordination and clear policy guidelines, many of the organisations suffering from 'partnership overload'. The National Tourism Organisation could not make decisions, providing the strategic leadership required to drive the tourism agenda forward etc. |
