:00:13. > :00:15.Good evening. Members of Solerset's tourism industry are implorhng
:00:16. > :00:19.holiday makers to consider their county open for business as usual.
:00:20. > :00:23.Visitor attractions are relxing on the Easter Holidays to bring in
:00:24. > :00:25.millions of pounds this year. But there's real concern that ilages of
:00:26. > :00:32.recent flooding have discouraged tourists. Here's Catherine Powell.
:00:33. > :00:36.The sunshine certainly helpdd draw in the holiday`makers today but over
:00:37. > :00:44.the past months these are the images of Somerset that have made the
:00:45. > :00:54.headlines. I am from bombing and I have came here from my family. `` I
:00:55. > :00:58.am from Birmingham. It was ` good day out. My son enjoyed it. I used
:00:59. > :01:08.to come to the caves as a child and I enjoyed it. These are the images
:01:09. > :01:21.that made the headlines. Re`lism officials say that these im`ges are
:01:22. > :01:25.keeping holiday makers away. The rumours that Somerset is flooded
:01:26. > :01:28.have done is a lot of harm. There was only 5% of the county that was
:01:29. > :01:32.underwater. It is reckoned that advance bookings for the sulmer are
:01:33. > :01:36.down about 20%. That is a lot of bookings and a lot of money that we
:01:37. > :01:40.hope we can claw back. The tourism industry is said to be worth ?1
:01:41. > :01:43.billion per year to Somerset and this should be one of its btsiest
:01:44. > :01:46.weeks. Many attractions say that Easter bookings are way down. The
:01:47. > :01:49.perception has been that Solerset is underwater and it is putting people
:01:50. > :01:53.off from coming. One partictlar example is that there is a company
:01:54. > :01:57.from India looking to bring visitors over to Somerset and they wdre put
:01:58. > :02:00.off because in the media ovdr there, they are seeing that Somersdt is
:02:01. > :02:04.flooded. This is when they `re very much open for business really. They
:02:05. > :02:10.are all hoping that a better summer will help Somerset on its w`y to
:02:11. > :02:14.recovery. Police in Bath are still trxing to
:02:15. > :02:17.trace the family of a man who drowned in the River Avon. The
:02:18. > :02:20.42`year`old fell into the rhver near Norfolk Crescent late on Frhday
:02:21. > :02:24.night. He was pulled out by police officers, but they couldn't revive
:02:25. > :02:26.him. He's the fifth person to drown in the area in recent years.
:02:27. > :02:29.Protesters fighting plans for biomass power plants at Avonmouth
:02:30. > :02:32.near Bristol say their action this weekend was just the beginnhng.
:02:33. > :02:39.Around 100 cyclists gathered to show their opposition. They're concerned
:02:40. > :02:42.about air quality and sustainability, and they believe use
:02:43. > :02:46.of palm oil in one plant wotld be ecologically damaging. But those
:02:47. > :02:48.behind the projects say thex'll provide renewable low carbon
:02:49. > :02:55.electricity, reduce carbon dmissions and create hundreds of new jobs
:02:56. > :03:01.Government permissions have been granted, although the finances are
:03:02. > :03:04.yet to be confirmed. Weather wise it's been the perfect start to a
:03:05. > :03:06.summer of cricket for both Gloucestershire and Somerset, who
:03:07. > :03:08.began their County Championship campaigns today.
