WTA looking for ways to save NRW visitor centres

WTA Chairman, Suzy Davies is one of a group of tourism leaders calling for an urgent meeting with Deputy First Minister Huw Iranca-Davies and regional Members of the Senedd and MPs to discuss way of saving three Natural Resources Wales (NRW) visitor centres.

The NRW is planning to close their centres at Bwlch Nant yr Arian and Ynyslas near Aberystwyth, and Coed y Brenin near Dolgellau with the loss of around 260 jobs to address a £13 million budget shortfall.

Suzy, along with Zoe Hawkins, chief executive of MWT Cymru, and Steve Hughson, Mid Wales Tourism Forum chairman, is calling for an urgent meeting with politicians and the NRW.

​They are seeking a solution to save the visitor centres, whether it requires a U-turn by the NRW, extra funding from the Welsh Government or finding different operators to keep the doors open. They insist that the centres must remain open until a solution is found.
