This is not the latest release in the series: Tourism Barometer
Series information:
Main findings
- Most (86%) businesses have increased or maintained their visitor levels this Easter. Among those increasing their visitors, ‘better weather’ was the most common reason along with Easter falling late this year.
- All regions of Wales performed well. Sectors where visitors don’t have to book far in advance or at all performed particularly well.
- Following a fine Easter, the vast majority (85%) of operators are confident for the summer ahead
- Most (77%) businesses are open all year round. Only in the weather-dependent caravan & campsite sector do the majority of businesses close at some point during the year.
