It has been reported that the number of jobs supported by tourism in the UK is predicted to increase by 264,000 to 2.89 million and the amount of spending per year by overseas residents could almost double from £16bn now to £31bn in 2020.

As a result, Welsh tourism is set to boom over the coming months.

Local Assembly Member Paul Davies said, "This is encouraging news given the recent economic times. The tourism industry is of significant importance to the local economy here in Pembrokeshire and I hope that this news will affect Pembrokeshire accordingly.

"I recently attended an event held by the World Tourism Alliance at the Senedd to celebrate Welsh tourism and meet local representatives. It was a great opportunity to meet some of the local tourism operators in Pembrokeshire and to hear of their hard work. I am sure that they will be pleased to hear of these figures and the effect it will have on their businesses."
