I have regular discussions with members of the business community in Wales. The Welsh tourism sector is thriving. In 2024, British residents alone took over 7 million overnight trips in Wales. The Welsh Government’s Visitor Levy could raise up to £33 million a year to reinvest in local communities and support tourism.
