The Welsh Government’s Visitor Levy Bill came into effect this week, giving local councils the power to introduce an overnight tax on visitors from April 2027. Cllr Aaron Wynne, Llanrwst ’s representative on Conwy County Council, has urged the authority to move quickly to adopt the levy. Cllr Wynne argues the tax will help protect frontline services and safeguard facilities used by both residents and visitors. “Conwy is fortunate to have a thriving tourism industry, attracting visitors from across the UK and beyond,” said Cllr Wynne. “Without a dramatic improvement in its funding from the Welsh government, further cuts to frontline services in Conwy are inevitable,” added Cllr Wynne.
