Part of 2. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Infrastructure – in the Senedd at 1:33 pm on 19 July 2017.
Cabinet Secretary, earlier this month, the director of the Welsh Centre for Tourism Research at Cardiff Metropolitan University said that Wales is not reaching its full potential in attracting high-spending international tourists. She pointed out that Wales was not doing as well internationally as our competitors, getting about 3 per cent of visitors and 2 per cent of spend. Given the importance of tourism to the Welsh economy, what action does the Cabinet Secretary intend to take to increase the number of international tourists coming to Islwyn, and Wales altogether? Thank you.
