The Tourism Barometer assesses business confidence in the Welsh tourism industry and provides indicative results at national, regional and sectoral level. The latest survey, undertaken February 2024, took a look back at 2023, assessed of business confidence, occupancy statistics and a look at use of Welsh in the workplace. Of no surprise to WTA members will be the key takeaway quote...‘High costs and Welsh Government policies dominate concerns’.
Item 1.8 of the report directly states ‘Respondents citing more than one concern have been asked which one will impact on their business the most. When narrowed down to one, ‘Welsh Government policies’ are the single biggest concern among self-catering operators, and high operating costs are the biggest concern in all other sectors’. In percentage terms: ‘High operating costs’ were 32% unprompted and the related macro-economic issue ‘people lacking in disposable income’ at 22% with ‘Welsh Government policies’ at 30%. The WTA and its members have written to our new First Minister asking for an urgent review of 182 Day and the cumulative impact of other Welsh Government Policies remains at the top of our list.
