Minister for Culture, Tourism and Sport, Lord Elis-Thomas, said: “Over the last three years, we’ve seen how this revenue funding has enabled the industry to come to together, work in partnership and deliver projects which have greater impact in a very competitive market-place. As we now turn our focus to Year of Discovery we would like to see even bigger ideas and strategic partnerships developing. We will be prioritising our investment in proposals that evidence genuine regional collaboration and are able to promote the commitment to inclusive growth set out in our Economic Action Plan.”
Proposals are being invited for the next round of tourism investment funds in support of Wales’ thematic years. Visit Wales is looking for big idea projects which make Wales a must visit destination. The Tourism Product Innovation Fund (TPIF) and Regional Tourism Engagement Fund (RTEF) are funds to develop that align with the Year of Discovery for 2019 and future thematic years and that reflect all or any of the three key themes for promoting tourism to Wales - adventure, culture and landscape. Support will also be available for projects that align with The Wales Way initiative. For the Year of Discovery the emphasis is on the experiences that people can have in Wales, inviting visitors to explore and discover what makes us uniquely Wales. This round of RTEF/TPIF funding will has a deadline for submission by 23 November 2018. Find out more information about our tourism funding here
