Welsh caravan parks praised by heritage minister

Posted by Linda Davidson


Caravan refrigeration owners who have spent time caravanning in Wales will no doubt support Welsh heritage minister Alun Ffred Jones who has praised the nation's caravan parks for offering visitors a high quality product.


Mr Jones told the Daily Post: "I'd like to congratulate the owners of the parks for their commitment to improve the quality of their product. Quality is key if our visitors are to return year after year."


Welsh caravan parks were rewarded with a record 24 five star gradings from Visit Wales this year, highlighting the high quality of Welsh caravan holidays.


Recent Visit Wales research found that the tourist industry has had a mixed summer in Wales but the caravan and camping sector has performed very well, with almost 40 per cent of businesses increasing their visitor numbers.


Mr Jones added that the caravan industry has a valuable role to play in the tourism industry's ability to help deliver jobs and income, helping to sustain the economy during the recession.
