Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:36 pm on 27 September 2016.
He makes a strong case for the area that he represents, which I appreciate. We do look, of course, to promote all areas of Wales, including areas that traditionally have not been seen as areas that have traditionally attracted tourists. I can say that expenditure by staying visitors in Wales in 2015 was over £2.3 billion, well above the target that we set in place. We know that tourism is a major employer in Wales as well, and we’ll continue to look to increase the number of visitors, both day and overnight, to all parts of Wales, so that those who don’t have the good fortune of living here can enjoy what we have to offer.
