The heritage of Wales makes it popular with tourists looking for experiences they cannot get in their own countries, it has been suggested.
Writing for WalesOnline, director of tourism and marketing for VisitWales Jonathan Jones explained that it has a "rich and diverse" range of offerings for visitors.
He noted that the country”s heritage is one of its "distinctive strengths" and remarked that people are booking holidays in Wales as they are "moving away from the ”fly and flop” holiday" and opting to experience what an area has to offer.
The country provides experiences ranging from sporting events to "mythical castles", Mr Jones told the news source, adding that these can be enjoyed "in the cold and the wet", as well as during the summer months.
Holidays in England are also increasing, it was revealed earlier this month, with data from VisitEngland showing the number of people from the UK opting to take a break in the country rose by 14 per cent during the first half of the year.
