The current economic situation and the poor weather we had over the summer have made things particularly difficult for the tourism sector. However, It has been pleasing to see Plaid in government recognising the important contribution of tourism to the Welsh economy, and taking action to support the industry through difficult times. Plaid’s Heritage Minister Alun Ffred Jones held a tourism summit to help the industry in Swansea recently where individuals from the tourism sector had an opportunity to have their say. The industry plays a very important role in the Welsh economy and it is important that the government does all that it can to support it during this uncertain economic period. This summit was the first step to ensure that people who work within the industry are consulted in the development of the tourism strategy and policy so that it benefits us here on a local level. This summit of course followed on from the Wales economic summit that was held in the Senedd a few weeks ago and this is further proof of Plaid in government consulting with the people who know what the current situation is better than anyone.
