With the dramatic increase in staycations, a new scheme has been launched to encourage visitors to spend more on local food during their stay.
Neges@Home, Menter Môn’s project is the solution to keeping visitors’ expenditure on food and drink local.
Menter Môn will work with local producers and suppliers across Ynys Môn, Gwynedd and Conwy to develop a range of innovative food packages. The aim is to provide the perfect ingredients for a weekend away or a special occasion. They will also be working closely with the self-catering industry to ensure that the local option is just as convenient as the supermarket!
The Neges project will also offer a flavour for the region as well as the food. The sense of place element will be created by using materials and methods that will promote the Welsh language, heritage, landscape, history and more. The project will connect with all three local language initiatives to share ideas, reach a wider audience, and learn good practice.
To help deliver the project, Neges@Home are looking for 5 food and drink producers to work with Neges to pilot these innovative food and drink packages. These can be individuals or a cluster of producers working together on the offering.
They’re also looking for a variety of self-catering accomodation owners who will provide these food packages to their customers. The providers will choose which suppliers they want to work with and how many.
The initiative will run until June 2023 with a bulk of activity taking place during the 2022 tourism season.
