Exclusive FHD video interview with Mr. Cyng
Goronwy O Edwards, Mayor of Conwy, North Wales.
In this interview, filmed at The Quay Hotel
and Spa in Deganwy on 7 February, Steven Howard of
TravelNewsAsia.com sits down with Goronwy to ask him about Conwy
as an up-and-coming tourism destination.
We talk about what Conwy has to offer tourists,
how the town is embracing technology to enhance the travel
experience for visitors, whether there are enough hotels in the
area, what the hotel pipeline is like, and when a planned academy for the
hospitality industry may open.
Goronwy tells us about new developments that are
happening in the area, including a new Hilton hotel, how Conwy
uses sport to promote the destination, and why North
Wales is fast becoming known as the adventure capital of Europe.
Steven asks how Conwy is balancing the need
for the tourism dollar against the problems that over-tourism can
cause, and how the expansion of airports like Manchester, Liverpool
and Cardiff have helped the town and region increase the number of
arrivals.
We also discuss why Conwy is so popular with
the Japanese travel market and what the recent twinning with
Himeji means. All that and much, much more in the video and
podcast below.
