  • are a tourism or hospitality business based in Wales 
  • employ between 1–49 permanent year-round employees via PAYE
  • have been trading for at least one year
  • have an online presence to show you attract visitors from outside your local area.

Eligible project costs could include infrastructure like:

  • Canopies, pergolas, or covered seating
  • Covered walkways or visitor shelters
  • Woodchip or gravel paths
  • Hard standing for car parks
  • Indoor play areas 

Facilities must be open to all - we cannot fund facilities that are for the sole use of staying guests.
