Part of 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Transport – in the Senedd at 2:03 pm on 7 February 2018.
Thank you for that. Signage, above all, has to be clear, has to be intelligible, and has to not cause the person observing the signage, especially if that person is driving, to be interrupted in the proper work that that person has to do. But we now have a new way of describing how visitors travel through Wales, and this is called the Welsh way. This is not the Welsh way of life; this is something else—llwybr Cymru—one across the north, one all the way down from Aberdaron to Tyddewi, and then another one, of course, the A470, as that classic route is known. Now, along that route it is possible to follow a whole series of destinations, and what we are trying to do is create the idea of a modern pilgrimage, or even perhaps a post-modern pilgrimage, where people are going to look at things that are meaningful to them when they've worked out where they are along those routes. So, signage, yes, but more important than the immediate signage is the information available on the internet, the information available on tourism brochures, and the idea that Wales, as a whole, is a destination and a place, as I said, of pilgrimage.
