Tourism in Conway

[IMAGE][IMAGE]The aim of this paper is to answer three questions: How

important is tourism in Conway, what problems and benefits does it

bring to Conway, and how can tourism be best managed in the future? To

answer these questions, we travelled to North Wales and visited Conway

town. I constructed a plan of action, questionnaire, made photographs

and sketches and collected leaflets to help me approach the

questions.

CONWAY

------

[IMAGE][IMAGE]Conway is a small town situated just off the border of

Snowdonia national park and therefore surrounded by some of the most

stunning scenery in the United Kingdom. Snowdonia is the second

largest National Park out of the eleven in England and Wales. The

National Park covers 832 square miles of the most beautiful scenery in

North Wales and attracts an estimated 6-10 million visitors enjoy

activities in Snowdonia National Park. Because access in National

Parks is restricted, Conway Town and its surroundings are clean and

unspoilt. Conway is located in good reach of the A547 and the A55,

providing good links to the town. There is also a railway from London

to Holyhead. There are twelve different buses, which travel to Conway

town from all over the Conway area. There are several airports located

not far from Conway, providing easy access to the district.

I have drawn up a table to show airports close to Conway:

Conway Castle

[IMAGE]Many tourists visiting the region are drawn to Conway and its

beautiful castle. Wales is known throughout the world for its dramatic

mountain scenery and its once thriving woollen industry. But Wales is

also renowned for its castles – there are almost 400 of them in

various states of repair and dating from various periods in history
