 © Hawlfraint y Goron / © Crown copyright (2022) Cymru Wales As one of Visit Wales' activities to mark the 2025 Year of Croeso, a capital grants fund is running in 2025-26 to support businesses in the tourism attraction sector to invest in weather-proofing measures.
Grants of between £5,000 and £20,000 per project are available to support costs of installing weather-proofing measures which will mitigate the impact of poor weather on trading and on the visitor experience. The scheme is open to tourism attraction businesses which are SMEs, are accredited under the VAQAS scheme (or are eligible and willing to seek VAQAS accreditation) and have been trading for at least a year. Weather-proofing measures might include, for example, installation of new covered areas, visitor shelters or areas of hardstanding. Applicants are especially encouraged to consider how their weather-proofing measures might surprise visitors and change perceptions of what visiting the attraction in poor weather might be like. All expenditure under the scheme will need to be completed by 31 March 2026. The closing date for applications is 22 May. Further information is available on the Industry Visit Wales website and in the Welsh Government press notice.
