Pembrokeshires Industrial Heritage

23 February 2011

A Feasibility Study for the Potential Development of Industrial Heritage Tourism in Pembrokeshire  has been   recently completed by Sula Rayska with two associates, Katie Foster and Alison Caffyn, for PLANED, the Pembrokeshire Local Action Network for Enterprise and Development.

The objectives of the study derive in part from the wider ambition of the strategic agencies, tourism and heritage partners of Wales to explain and promote a range of key Welsh themes and stories both to internal and external markets.

The strategic context for this work sits within the wider aspirations of Visit Wales and Welsh Assembly Government of ‘the offer for visitors’, creating more ‘products’ to extend their dwell time and thus an increased contribution to the local and country economy. Importantly however, the study’s impetus derives principally from a key Welsh objective for its people to celebrate their own ‘sense of place’ and their role in Welsh history.
