Speaker 1 Such developments lead to morÄ™ iobs; growth In the local economy where tourism provldes revenue Speaker 2 lt's wrong to sacriflce wildlife for the sake of revenue; the maln income won't go to local people; it will allow other projects to go ahead on other senslthie sites.

Transcript WB 16 Speaker i On the whole, l'm in agrcemen! with the principlc of aliowing Ccve!opmcnt aro.ccts such as Donald Trump's golf course in Scotland to go ahead. In the currcnt economic climatc, b*oadlv spcaking. very fcw p:ivate investors arc prepared to spend substantia! amounts of moncy on dcvetoping land for tourism. for Ihis rcason we shoutd weicomc such investments as they lead to the creation of morÄ™ jobs in the area. first duhng the construction phasc. and la ter to support the tourism and leisure industrics. The inrrease in tourism will of coutsc rcsult in a growth in the local economy. fhis is of particular importancc in rcmotcc parts of the country where the local economy must rely to a great entent on the rcvenuc gcncratcd from tourism. I can't deny that there is some merit in the arguments of those who are against deve!opments that pose a threat to the crwironment. such as the sand dunes in Abccdeenshire and the wildlife that they support. Howewr, I would still maintain that en limes of reccsseon. the economic bcnefits signifrcantly outweigh the envuonmental damagc. Speaker 2 I am of the opmion that tourist developmcnts that have a detrimental effect on the environment should be discouraged at alt cosls.

In my view it is wrong to sacnficc rarc specics which bring great pleasure to many pcopic for the sake of extra revenue from tourism. Furthermore.

I don't go along with the argument that development will mean a huge improvement in the local economy. lakÄ™ the case of the golf course in Scotland, for e*ampie. Granted, il will oring morÄ™ ioos, which is very important. but other than tnat. I don': sce how the local population will oenefit from it if the income from tourism goesto Donald Trump. Another thing to consider is the esample that it sets. if one dcve!apmcnt proÅ›ci is allowed to go ahead then this will probably grve the green Irght to tear up other protected sites in the futurÄ™. Ali in all. I strongly feel that this is too hign a price to pay for the supposed bcnefits of tourism.
