The Destination Management Plan (DMP) is a shared statement of intent to manage Bridgend County Borough as a successful visitor destination between 2022 and 2027.
Since the last DMP was produced, significant change has taken place at global, national and local levels, with the Covid-19 pandemic, Brexit and rises in the cost of living. All of these have had implications for the tourism and hospitality industries.
Bridgend County Borough Council (BCBC) has identified tourism as part of its foundational economy with a recovery response that includes additional funding streams, public amenity projects, infrastructure upgrades and support for the accommodation sector. Whilst much has changed, there is also much potential for the future.
BCBC will work in partnership with Visit Wales, regional entities such as Cardiff Capital Region and the Valleys Regional Park, neighbouring authorities and key stakeholders such as town and community councils, accommodation providers, tourist attractions, activity providers and other local businesses that support the visitor economy.
