Title

Wales Coast Path and National Trails Benefits to Business Survey 2023

2.2

Description of the goods or services required

In 2012, Wales became the first nation in the world to create a dedicated path around an entire coastline, and the following year Natural Resources Wales (NRW), then Countryside Council for Wales (CCW), commissioned a study evaluating the benefits brought to business by the opening of the Path.

A recent ‘Review of the Wales Coast Path on its 10th Anniversary’ set out recommendations for its future development. NRW is the lead agency for the management of the three National Trails in Wales and, in 2006, their predecessor CCW had commissioned a study into the benefits to business of the National Trails in Wales.

Natural Resources Wales (NRW) now intend to commission a piece of work to be undertaken over the remaining part of 2022/23 to be completed during 2023/24. It is intended to gather comprehensive information and actionable insight about the businesses that operate close to or on Wales’ long distance routes.
