Why is Destination Marketing so important?
How often do we stop and think about how visitors find out about Mid Wales and decide they want to visit?
We often hear from accommodation providers who say they get their business through booking.com and other similar channels - this may be the case, but to use these websites, visitors have to know what town they're looking to stay in in the first place.
This is where MWT comes in. Our websites don't just list members' information; they also have thousands of pages promoting walking routes, towns/villages, scenic places, picnic spots, hills, mountains, events... the list goes on.
Visitors staying in accommodation will want to know what there is to do nearby, what events are on, where they can eat out, go for a walk, etc. People visiting an attraction or event may need accommodation, or travel information, etc. We are all interlinked.
Without continued investment in destination marketing that promotes the whole region, we're at risk of losing out to the competition. We want to encourage repeat visits but we also want to reach out to first time visitors too.
MWT Cymru (Mid Wales Tourism) is the only organisation that promotes the Mid & West Coast Wales region. Our websites, www.visitmidwales.co.uk and www.showmewales.co.uk, generate over 2 million users and 15.8 million page views per annum (2019).

Collectively, our voice is stronger. We have 600+ members in Wales from all sectors of the industry including accommodation, attractions & activities, event organisers, retail, food & drink, national organisations and specialist suppliers, who help us to champion the tourism sector in Mid Wales.
We provide membership support and we undertake destination marketing campaigns to put Mid Wales on the map.
For MWT, a thriving visitor economy means a place where people want to live, work and invest. It's about inward investment, skilled jobs, better infrastructure and creating an environment where the next generation can stay and prosper.
