2013 Bedroom Browser - 2013 Llyfrin lloft.

Carmarthenshire County Council have this year produced a 'bedroom browser.'  We have included every attraction within Carmarthenshire in this useful bedroom guide.

● Bedroom browsers are seen by 95% of visitors staying in Carmarthenshire.  The folders are an excellent means of promoting the area.

● We aim to distribute these to graded and ungraded hotels, guesthouses, bed & breakfasts, pubs, holiday cottages and caravan parks throughout the region.

● We are currently arranging  for the majority of establishments to have the correct quantity of folders for the 2013 season. Accommodation providers will be able to order further supplies throughout the year if needed.

● The laminated folders are attractively designed and well laid out. The durable cover protects the leaflets for the whole year.

● The folders is divided into four areas, and has a useful information section such as "In our opinion the best local restaurant is:..."

If you have not yet received your Carmarthenshire bedroom browser allocation, please  contact Michelle Gibbs on MGibbs@carmarthenshire.gov.uk

and let her know how many browsers you need for your rooms.

You can also view the bedroom browser on our brochures page (Right hand side column)  http://www.discovercarmarthenshire.com/home/brochures.html

● Mae'r ffolderi wedi'u lamineiddio, wedi eu cynllunio yn ddeniadol au gosod allan yn dda. Mae'r gorchudd gwydn yn gwarchod y taflenni ar gyfer y flwyddyn gyfan.

● Mae'r ffolderi wedi cael ei rannu'n bedwar ardal, ac yn cynnwys adran gwybodaeth ddefnyddiol fel "Yn ein barn ni mae'r bwyty gorau lleol yw: ..."

If you are just looking for free days out, again take a look at our leisure centres, they offer a Junior free swimming programme entitling children to 2hrs of free swimming per day all through the school holidays.

For a more educational afternoon out why not visit the Carmarthenshire museum in Abergwili, Parc Howard in Llanelli or Castle House in Carmarthen, all are free entry sites and are worth a visit during the half term. Another museum which is worth a visit this week is the National Wool museum of Wales in Drefach – Felindre which has a great Art cart during the holidays which focuses on creative activities for children.   www.museumwales.ac.uk/

Other cost saving days out in the County not only includes our Country Parks & Beaches but some of our castles too, Llansteffan, Dryslwyn, Carmarthen, Newcastle Emlyn and Llandovery Castle are all free entry sites.

VISIT WALES SOUTH WEST WALES TOURISM INDUSTRY EVENT

VISIT WALES SOUTH WEST WALES TOURISM INDUSTRY EVENT

TUESDAY 26TH FEBRUARY (10.00am – 3.30pm)

AT FFOS LAS RACECOURSE

A chance to meet representatives from Visit Wales, hear from inspirational speakers and an opportunity to network with tourism business operators from across South West Wales at this FREE regional tourism event…

Each year, Visit Wales takes to the road for a series of free tourism industry events across Wales, with one held in each region of the country.

Last year, the South West Wales event was held in Pembrokeshire and the previous year in Swansea Bay…and this year is the turn of Carmarthenshire to be host! The day event will be held at Ffos Las Racecourse, and we at the Carmarthenshire Tourist Association, are working with Visit Wales by helping organise some elements of the day and to help spread the word to you!

This year, the focus will be on Improving the Visitor Experience and brings together experts from Wales’ tourism industry to focus on what it takes to ensure that our guests receive the warmest of welcomes when they come and visit.

We’re pleased to be joined by colleagues from the National Trust and Cadw, in addition to Iestyn George, journalist and Wales View magazine editor who will be sharing with us some of his experiences of working in tourism and writing about tourism in Wales. 

Lunch will be followed by a choice of workshop sessions in the afternoon, where we’ll be looking at food tourism, digital marketing and a regional session to focus on the issues important to your area.

As well as tourism business operators and industry representatives from Carmarthenshire – those from Pembrokeshire, Swansea Bay – or beyond - are also invited to come and join us at this important day. So, it’s a fantastic chance to meet and network with those involved in tourism across the region.
