Would you pay a 'tourism tax' to visit Snowdonia?
The national park is visited by millions of people every year, many of them coming from the West Midlands and Shropshire.
Gwynedd Council leader Dyfrig Siencyn believes Gwynedd’s taxpayers should not be expected to underwrite facilities used by holidaymakers. He said he wants to attract the “right kind of visitor” – those staying overnight and not day-trippers, who bring their own food and contribute little to local economies.
Before the Covid pandemic, 7.8 million people visited the area in 2019, up 11.6 per cent on the previous year. Since then, visitor numbers have climbed again, though there are signs the staycation boom may be ebbing this year now that overseas destinations are open again.
