Project is to add 2 new ‘Customer Experience Hubs’ (CEH) at 2 of the key honeypot beach locations along the Llyn Peninsular. The sites are Porthdinllaen and Porthor (Whistling Sands) which are the most iconic and popular sites in the region with each receiving upwards of 100k visitors a year. At both sites the NT operate car parks which house outdated visitor welcome cabins. The project is to replace the outdated facilities with fit for purpose customer experience hubs (CEH) which will offer a wealth of information to the visitor through digital and traditional means and fill the void left by the closure of TIC’S in the area.
The design of the 2 buildings will follow the learnings from the Porth y Swnt development and will take account of the ‘spirit of place’ of the sites. The history and culture of the sites will be intertwined in the design. As part of the project the NT plan to establish a third activity provision at Porthor to complement the existing kayaking and stand up Paddleboard offer which has been successful at Aberdaron and Porthdinllaen. The hubs will act as a site for promotion as well as booking for these activities. The new Porthor building will have new upgraded toilets and new shower facilities.
