    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I would like to thank all hon. Members who made a very constructive contribution to this debate. I would like to acknowledge the following Members who made those contributions: Mr. Syongo, Capt. Nakitare, Mr. Jimmy Angwenyi, Mr. Poghisio, Mr. Sungu, Mr. Raila Odinga, Mr. John Koech, Mr. Obwocha, Mr. April 12, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 607 Omingo Magara and Prof. Maathai. These hon. Members talked in depth on the main topics in this Report. One of the topics was the impact of tourism on the development of the ACP countries. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, they all noted that apart from the financial contribution that tourism brings to ACP countries, ours included, it has also a lot of adverse effects on the society. These negative effects include destruction of environment and evils like sex tourism which is very unpalatable because sometimes it involves minors and children in these matters. Tourism has also imported various kinds of diseases to ACP countries. So, it is the responsibility of our development partners to assist our ACP countries to deal with these evils. Secondly, it is also, I think, the responsibility of the respective countries to do adequate and relevant investment to continue attracting productive tourism"
