The conference will seek to answer critical questions about the future direction of the £6.2 billion tourism industry in Wales.

Adrian Greason-Walker, WTA's executive director said: "Hit by a challenging economy, tough trading conditions, poor weather and a more competitive environment, many businesses have suffered even during the peak season this year.

Innovation

"However, by supporting each other and concentrating on product and service innovation, as well as new marketing techniques, the industry has to aim for a brighter future."

The WTA is now widely recognised as the voice of the industry in Wales.
