Wish You Weren'Here?
IHolidaymakers are money-there can never be too many of them.'-Cornish hotelier.
' We're busy creating in Cornwall the conditions they are trying to get away from in Birmingham.'-Cornish resident.

JACK PIZZEY and a Man Alive team have been listening to both -and to the views of the tourists themselves. In Penzance DESMOND WILCOX chairs a debate as the people of Cornwall ask: how much tourism is too much?
