The owners of caravan sites in Wales have been praised for their sterling work in building the industry in the country.
According to the Daily Post, Welsh heritage minister Alun Ffred Jones and Tony Bywater was joined by Salop Leisure chairman Tony Bywater in congratulating the country’s park owners for setting exceptional standards.
Visit Wales has bestowed a total of 24 five-star gradings on sites this year, meaning 2010 has set a new record.
“The caravan parks sector in Wales has a valuable role to play in the tourism industry’s ability to help deliver jobs and income, helping to sustain our economy during recession and growing it thereafter,” Mr Jones was quoted as saying.
He added that park owners deserve to be congratulated for their achievements and commitment to improving quality, which is vital for keeping visitors coming back.
