Plaid Cymru’s Alun Ffred Jones AM and Hywel Williams MP have welcomed the new visitor centre at the summit of Snowdon as a mountainous boost for the local tourist industry.
The new visitor centre, including a restaurant, café and weather centre, replaces what Prince Charles once described as the highest slum in Britain .
Local Plaid AM, Alun Ffred Jones, said:
“ Snowdon already attracts a high number of tourists to this area. Around 500,000 visitors reach the summit every year. I am confident that this new visitor centre, which has been helped with a funding package from the One Wales Government and Visit Wales , will make it an even more popular destination.
“Not only will the centre be valuable in bringing in more people, but it will also enhance people’s experience and interpretation of one of Wales ’s most beautiful national treasures.
“The tourism industry plays a vital role in our local economy. The Plaid driven One Wales government is committed to supporting the industry and ensuring that is developed in a way that makes the most of local resources and assets.”
Plaid’s Hywel Williams, MP for Caernarfon, added:
“The new centre at the summit of Snowdon is an extraordinary new landmark. It is of enormous importance and is something that local people and visitors alike can enjoy and be very proud of.
“It is an extremely innovative building too, has been built of natural materials and expertly put together over time by skilled builders in extreme conditions. There are some spectacular views across Snowdonia from the new site and I’m looking forward to my next trip up there.
“This is a great investment for my constituency too and I want to pass on huge congratulations to the whole team involved with putting such an iconic attraction in place.”
