MWT is not a booking agency, so we don't sell attraction or event tickets on your behalf. Our aim is to generate more direct business for you, by empowering you to improve your own marketing and by generating referral traffic from our platforms to yours. Our members' website entries have clear calls to action (look at the buttons for 'Visit website' and 'Book ticket' as examples)
Our advice is tailored to you - but generally speaking, we advise all members to a) have their own website and b) give visitors the option to book/buy tickets online. To get the most out of membership, we advise you to update your web listing on Visit Mid Wales regularly. You can do this via the Guestlink platform (if you have a listing on the national Visit Wales website, this will also update your entry on there). We provide lots of help and support to do this. |

We understand that it can be tough running a business whilst simultaneously trying to keep up to date with the latest visitor and marketing trends. We're here to help! We provide regular e-news updates with important industry news and opportunities. We also hold members meetings that allow you to network with other businesses, find out what's going on face-to-face, and pick up a few hints and tips along the way to help your business or event grow. Membership is a great way to feel connected to the industry. Too busy to attend meetings? - that's fine, you can also keep in contact with fellow members via our closed, members only, Facebook Group. We also have an exclusive members area on this, our industry website, where you can access additional content and support. Our attractions and activity pass scheme is a great way to encourage other members to visit your business/event for familiarisation trips - you can sign up for this free of charge (it's an exclusive membership benefit), and also request your own pass to visit other businesses too. Our 5 day a week (friendly) helpline is here for you too! If you have any questions then please do not hesitate to give the team a call and if we can't answer your query , we probably know who can - save yourself time and frustration and get the answer you're looking for from a real person. Our experienced team have worked in tourism for many years, either through associations or running their own businesses. Make your life easier and become a member of MWT. |

Just to say thank you so much for the valuable time you gave me this morning, the time passed so quickly. From my point of view, the time spent was priceless. You have given me and my fellow trustees such food for thought as well as the practical skills I need to use Guestlink.
