Of course, the universities are key partners in the city deal, but there's more to the city region and the city deal, and all of us here, I hope, recognise it as a great visitor destination—we're all familiar with Gower and some of the more popular attractions, including the Afan valley. But the heritage and landscapes of the Neath and Dulais valleys are very under-celebrated, and their local authority is struggling to maintain assets in its ownership and, of course, it has no tourism team. If you want visitors to come and stay or to come back, they need to feel that they're missing out on something. So, how can the tourism potential of these valleys be more visible in Welsh Government promotional campaigns, but also in the Valleys task force activities?
