Cyngor Gwynedd have asked local residents to express their views regarding tourism in their communities by responding to a new survey. The survey is open to everyone who lives in Gwynedd and is an opportunity for residents to have their say on the effects of tourism in their areas, looking at employment, quality of life, the environment, heritage and culture.
Cabinet Member for Economy and Community, Councillor Nia Jeffreys said:
‘We are keen to learn more about the impact that tourism has on our communities here in Gwynedd and what are the advantages and disadvantages that arise from it.
This survey is timely as a year has passed since we launched the Gwynedd and Eryri Plan 2035, which is the Strategic Plan for sustainable tourism in the area. The intention of the plan is to assist the area to support sustainable tourism into the future.
This is also an opportunity for people to share their views on the effects of tourism since the designation of the Slate Landscape of Northwest Wales as a World Heritage Site in 2021.
The findings of the survey will help us guide tourism policy into the future and enable us to respond in the best way to meet the local needs of our communities.
If you have any views on the subject, I encourage you to take a few minutes to fill in the questionnaire.’
You can take part in the survey by visiting Cyngor Gwynedd’s website. You can get a paper copy of the survey in libraries in Gwynedd or on a different format by contacting tourism@gwynedd.llyw.cymru. The survey is open until 15 November 2024.
