NSW: Hotel shortage will cause tourists to go elsewhere:Industry

A leading tourism group says tourists will take their business outside NSW .. if the
state government doesn't address a looming shortage of Sydney hotel space.

The Tourism and Transport Forum says between now and 2016 .. the government's predicting
a 6.7 per cent growth in visitor nights .. requiring 13 hundred extra hotel rooms in Sydney.

It says the government should take measures to specify appropriate sites for hotel
construction .. and should stipulate that large commercial developments include a hotel.
