The Welsh tourism industry has enjoyed a good start to the holiday season, new figures have suggested.
Research by Visit Wales found that 41 per cent of businesses increased their guest numbers over the Easter period compared to 12 months ago, while 73 per cent of attractions reported a rise in visitors.
Only 13 per cent of companies reported any falls in interest compared to last year.
Alun Ffred Jones, the country's heritage minister, said: "For the first time in this ongoing research there is some evidence that more people are choosing to holiday in Wales, or other parts of UK, rather than going abroad.
"This could be due, in part, to families having less disposable income and as a result of the unfavourable exchange rates."
The release of the positive figures has come after it was announced that 21 hotels in Cardiff have agreed to cut their rates for people visiting the city for corporate events or conferences.
