£2 million scheme to help make tourism and hospitality more accessible

Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway

Tourism and hospitality businesses across Wales are being encouraged to apply for a new £2 million grant scheme to improve accessibility and create more inclusive visitor experiences, the Cabinet Minister for Enterprise, Connectivity and Energy, Adam Price, has announced.

The Croeso i Bawb grant scheme is being launched today to support practical improvements that help remove barriers for disabled visitors and those travelling with them.

The scheme will help businesses make changes that enable more people to plan and enjoy their visit with confidence, while supporting the Welsh Government’s wider ambition to make Wales a more accessible and welcoming destination for everyone.

Projects could include accessible toilets and bedrooms, improved paths and hearing loops, inclusive play areas, sensory spaces, rest areas, accessible outdoor seating and improved visitor routes that make visitor spaces more welcoming and enjoyable for everyone.

To help with the application process businesses will be able to use practical guidance and a toolkit.

This has been created in collaboration with Wales-based not-for-profit PIWS, to encourage applicants to consider every stage of the visitor experience, understand what works well, identify barriers, and prioritise improvements that will make the biggest difference.

Businesses in the tourism and hospitality sector are being asked to submit applications by 21 September 2026.
