This is your last chance to book tickets if you haven't already done so, so please show your support and book your ticket asap. Have we mentioned the gin tasting from Dyfi Distillery?! It promises to be a great day and we'd love to see you there.
“Our conference provides an opportunity to cover topics that matter most to tourism and hospitality businesses,' said Val Hawkins, MWT Cymru’s chief executive. 'It is an event not to be missed, no matter how big or small your business is.
Delegates will hear from experts in their fields and have an opportunity to network with other tourism and hospitality professionals, industry leaders, suppliers and business support organisations.

Establishing a statutory registration or licensing scheme for holiday accommodation operators in Wales - thanks for your feedback so far |
|
As we included in our last e-news, independent research agency, Strategic Research & Insight (SRI), have been commissioned by Welsh Government to explore establishing a statutory registration or licensing scheme for holiday accommodation operators in Wales.
Thank you to all members who attended our virtual members meeting on 19th October when we were joined by Adrian Greason-Walker from the Wales Tourism Alliance. It was great to discuss the issues surrounding statutory registration/licensing, and second home ownership.
MWT will be speaking to SRI to share the views of our membership. Please help us to collate your responses by completing our short survey. We have extended the survey deadline to 7th November. Thank you to members who have already completed this.
Your views are really important.
