RE: Tourism boost
Plaid Cymru is committed to boosting the tourism sector by doubling the budget for Visit Wales and increasing the Visit Wales budget from £7m to £14m.
A Plaid government would designate 2018 a year of Welsh food and drink, 2019 a ‘celebrate Wales’ year.
This will directly benefit the small businesses, food suppliers and food producers in Monmouth constituency boosting local producers and our vital agricultural industry, as well as supporting small businesses and sellers who form the stepping stone between farm and fork.
The importance of the tourism across Wales both as an employer and as a way of attracting investment into the country has long been recognised.
This is why a Plaid government will double the Welsh government’s funding for Visit Wales (from £7m to £14m) so that they are better placed to attract tourists to Wales.
