New DUP Economy Minister Simon Hamilton has hailed the Twelfth of July as a tourism attraction. The Minister said "more and more international visitors" are coming to Northern Ireland keen to experience the day. He also welcomed the announcement by the Orange Order that Portadown and Kilkeel have been named as this year's July 12th tourist flagships. So how many of us see the Twelfth as a tourist attraction and a boost to the economy? And can it be an event for everyone? Belfast Councillor and Orange Order member Jim Rodgers and commentator Newton Emerson have different views on this.
