Seaside resorts are yet valued at no less than £300m for each year to the Welsh economy, according to a reading.

The report by Sheffield Hallam University took a look at 121 coastal resorts in Wales and England, which includes Rhyl, Llandudno, Porthcawl and Barry.

It found that regardless of the increase in foreign package holidays, seaside resorts in Wales still drive in millions of Pounds into the financial system.

Researchers said that the findings blow up significant myths concerning the industry.

The coastal strip in the region of Llandudno is accountable for almost 5,000 jobs say the researchers, whilst Tenby in Pembrokeshire, supports more than 2,500 jobs.

The report, from the University's Centre for Regional Economic and Social Research, said that the industry had more people employed than those working in the motor industry, the aerospace industry, pharmaceuticals or steel.

Emma Morgan, a Hotelier in Abersoch, Gwynedd, said that it was not that much of a shock, particularly when the weather conditions have been as good as it has this summer.

She said that when the place you are living in has such a lovely weather, then, there is no need to holiday abroad.

In addition to that, she said that people prefer to visit beach and bask in the sun.

People do want to get away to the seashore and probably more of that should be made available and be supported, because it does bring a lot of business into the region.
