Asghar: Marketing must target return for Ryder Cup tourists

Mohammad Asghar, National Assembly Member for South Wales East, has highlighted the importance of ensuring tourists who visited Wales during the Ryder Cup return for a repeat visit.

Speaking in the Senedd on Tuesday, Mr Asghar said: “Thousands of tourists visited South Wales East for the Ryder Cup in Newport last October”.

He added that the most recent “visitor survey conducted by Visit Wales found that 70 per cent of visitors to Wales said that they would like to return”.

Mr Asghar asked the First Minister what specific plans “the Assembly Government has to ensure that tourists who visited Wales for golf and the Ryder Cup are targeted for a return visit.”

The Shadow Minister for Heritage & Equality wants tourists who experienced Wales during the Ryder Cup to “enjoy the diverse wealth of further attractions that south-east Wales and the nation … offer”.
