Gower in Wales fully deserves the recognition it has received as one of the UK”s friendliest holiday destinations, a local official has suggested.
Culture, recreation and tourism cabinet member at Swansea Council Graham Thomas was quoted by News Wales as saying its inclusion in a new top ten by Virgin Money Travel Insurance reflects the hard work put into the area by regional partners and businesses.
"This is a fitting accolade for what I think is one of the finest holiday destinations in Wales," he remarked, adding that he can see why Gower ranked so highly.
The peninsula was the only Welsh location to make it on to the list, which was determined on various criteria, including restaurants, attractions, hotel prices and the weather.
As visitors to Welsh holiday cottages may be aware, Gower is known especially for its beaches, such as Rhossili Bay and Tor Bay, which have won a wide array of awards and are considered to be among the finest in the country.
