Year of Croeso: Get involved

As part of our marketing campaign a Wall of  Hwyl / Wal Hwyl  is featured on the Visit Wales homepage. The “wall” is filled with moments of fun and joy – hwyl - throughout Wales and we are asking visitors to tag us so that it features people having fun in Wales. 

Please use the following tags #FeeltheHwyl, #Hwyl, #VisitWales and #CroesoCymru. User generated content (UGC) will populate the feed throughout the year, but to start i.e. at launch, Visit Wales will be using some of our own favourite hwyl filled posts. 

If you would like your business or destination to be considered to feature as part of the Wall of Hwyl content, please email Croeso@gov.wales  – all we need is a contact name, email and your business name, and then we will get in touch to let you know what kind of video or post we are looking for and help you with how to feature.
