welcomes huge increase in visitor spending in Wales
Latest figures reveal that Wales continues to be a popular choice for day trippers during the peak summer months.
Mike said… ‘This is really good news for
the Welsh Economy and the local Swansea Economy. Tourism is a vital component
of the Local economy that it is vital that we nurture and promote it at every
opportunity. I look forward to these figures improving in the years ahead.’
In the 12 months ending July 2017, there were 102 million tourism day visits to Wales, with an associated spend of £4,874 million. The number of visits has increased 11% compared to the 12 months ending July 2016, while the amount spent has increased 51%.
Wales' performance is particularly strong in the GB context: for GB as a whole, the number of visits has decreased by 1% compared to the 12 months ending July 2016, while the amount spent has increased 5%.
