Support needed for ETB
Article Abstract:
The UK tourism industry has reacted strongly to a government leak suggesting that the English Tourist Board (ETB) may be scrapped. The Department of Culture, Media and Sport is said to be considering axing the board as part of an 85 million pounds sterling cut from its budget. It is proposed that some of the ETB's functions be transferred to regional tourist boards. Some 9.5 million pounds sterling is currently given to the ETB, of which more than half is distributed to regional boards.

Will new training run out of steam?
Article Abstract:
The UK tourist industry is starting to place greater emphasis on training, but there is still much work to be done in this area, according to Richard Allen, head of training and business support at the English Tourist Board (ETB). The ETB is to launch the Welcome All training programme, costing 100,000 pounds sterling, in Oct 1996. This aims to improve the ability of staff to deal with people with disabilities or special needs.
