Praise for Llanduno tourism industry as town ranked UK’s second best seaside destination

Praise has been given to Llanduno’s tourism industry after the town was ranked as the UK’s second best seaside resort.

The results of an annual survey of thousands of holidaymakers by Which saw Llandudno finish just behind Bamburgh in Northumberland.

The nearby town of Conwy also appeared ninth of the top ten list.

Aberconwy MS Janet Finch-Saunders said: “I am truly delighted that the continued hard work, dedication and commitment of retailers, hoteliers and the entire tourism and hospitality industry in Llandudno has now been recognised by Which.

“Throughout the challenges of the pandemic these hard-working businesses continued to invest and innovate in preparation for the return of holiday makers.

“It is clear from the results of this survey that their efforts have paid off.

“While Llandudno has always been the Queen of Welsh Resorts, I am truly overjoyed to see an organisation as well trusted by consumers as Which now also recognised our town.

“With the newly opened Llandudno Tourism and Innovation Hub supporting local businesses develop the industry locally and with residents working with me to call for the Welsh Government to commit to returning sand to our North Shore beach, I am confident that next year’s survey may see Llandudno clinch first place.”
