Secretary of State for Wales Paul Murphy has visited Bluestone
to see for himself how tourism in Pembrokeshire is being taken to a
new level.
Speaking during a tour of the site with Bluestone chief
executive William McNamara and local MP Nick Ainger, Mr Murphy
said: “I am very impressed indeed with what I have seen with all
the top-end accommodation and recreation standards for
visitors.
“Bluestone is set to be a massive draw to the area and unique in
the way it actively encourages guests to explore other activities
and attractions across Pembrokeshire.”
“Bluestone will also give a massive boost to the local economy.
It is also set to become the largest private-sector employer in
Pembrokeshire, employing more than 400 local people in full time,
year-round jobs.”
Mr Murphy said: “High-quality destinations such as Bluestone are
set to transform tourism in Pembrokeshire. While visitors can make
the most of one of the UK’s most beautiful coastal counties, they
can now find alternatives to the traditional bucket-and-spade
holidays that will ensure Pembrokeshire appeals as a tourist
destination all year round.
“West Wales has a lot to offer all sorts of tourists. While it
still retains the natural attractions that have always made it a
seaside favourite of families, it now has even more to offer a
wider audience.”
