Music tourism pumping £95m into Welsh economy

Music tourism pumped £95m into the Welsh economy last year - with North Wales events like Festival No.6 and Access All Eirias leading the way.

UK Music has published Wish You Were Here 2015 – a new report that reveals the vast contribution of music tourism to the economy in Wales.
The study - carried out by Oxford Economics for UK Music - showed that over 211,000 music tourists visited Wales in 2014 to attend a concert or music festival.
These visitors generated £95 million ........?.. &shake& ....?......in total for the local economy, and helped sustain 768 full-time local jobs.

In North Wales the big festivals of 2014 included Wakestock in Abersoch, Festival No.6 at Portmeirion and Access All Eirias which brought singing legend Tom Jones to Colwyn Bay.

That's not what the the report states. Rather it says they 'generated' the amount in question.

It's a complex study but seems soundly based on stats from the ONS and the Virtual Microdata Lab (VML) maintained by the ONS. Based on the models they've used and the criteria they've applied it seems - if anything - to be understating the case.

Wish I could believe these's figures banded about.
How many people come to town just see a show never stay or spend any money in cafes ect, that would mean some pods are spending vast sums of money.

I'm really not convinced that the figures are reliable. Many local people just attend a concert, then drive home afterwards.

Like us, if we go to Venue Cymru, park for free, spend nothing, take our own snacks with us, drive straight home afterwards, I doubt if we show in any statistics!

.... that is no different to 90% of the visitors to Llandudno these days, except some nip into Poundland and get the bus!

They do explain how they've accounted for that seeming anomaly.

Who would want to live in the dark for a few months a year? The bridge would give access for your property to be viewed over from a great height......daft idea?!
