Responding to Pembrokeshire County Council’s decision not to implement a Visitor Levy, local Senedd Member Paul Davies said:
“Pembrokeshire County Council has made the right decision not to take forward a visitor levy. The sector has had a bruising few years and the cumulative impact of several policies and changes has heaped pressure on tourism businesses across the county.
“Tourism is a huge part of the Pembrokeshire economy. Many local people work in the industry or know someone who does. Protecting the sustainability of the sector for years to come is key and I believe operators across Pembrokeshire will breathe a sigh of relief at the Council’s decision not to implement this levy. “
“Nevertheless, this doesn’t stop future Councils implementing this damaging policy. I will continue to oppose the Visitor Levy at the Senedd and stand up for tourism businesses across Pembrokeshire.”
