Development West Coast, with support from the Glacier Country Tourism Group, surveyed all glacier businesses earlier this month. Mr O’Connor said Mr Nash might give an indication on that project while he was at Franz Josef. The West Coast MP also said he had held brief discussions with Development West Coast about it stepping up with funding. The Government was promoting domestic tourism, and directly supporting tourism businesses, Mr Nash said. Support was also being introduced for much-needed West Coast infrastructure through the Provincial Development Unit.
