An extra £2 million has been allocated to help Welsh tourism and hospitality businesses install weatherproofing measures.
The Year of Croeso Weatherproofing Fund received nearly 400 applications from businesses seeking grants between £5,000 and £20,000. The original £1.75 million budget has been increased to meet overwhelming demand.
The scheme supports micro, small and medium size businesses employing between 1- 250 people. Successful applicants will receive grants covering up to 75% of project costs.
Visit Wales research in 2024 found that 55% of tourism businesses cited poor weather as the main reason for reduced visitor numbers.
This additional investment will help businesses extend their operating seasons and create better experiences for visitors.
