PIWS is delighted to announce a new and exciting partnership with North Wales Tourism – a collaboration set to make North Wales one of the most inclusive tourism destinations in the UK.
PIWS works with tourism, hospitality, and events businesses to help them become more accessible and welcoming to all visitors. This partnership will bring new opportunities, training, and resources to businesses across the region, supporting them to open their doors wider and create experiences where everyone feels valued.
Eirlys Jones, Commercial Director at North Wales Tourism, shared her vision for the collaboration:
“North Wales Tourism is pleased to work in partnership with PIWS to encourage their member businesses to make North Wales a more inclusive Wales by fostering positive attitude changes, promoting access to lifestyle activities, and boosting confidence in everyday services. We believe that bringing disabled people and businesses together will change the conversation from one of disadvantage and inequality to one about potential and value. By joining PIWS, individuals can contribute to making places more accessible for everyone, especially those with disabilities and their families.”
Together, PIWS and North Wales Tourism are committed to ensuring every visitor – along with their families and friends – feels seen, welcomed, and supported. With the Purple Pound (the spending power of disabled households) worth over £274 billion to the UK economy, this is not only a step towards fairness and inclusion, but also a smart business move.
What the partnership offers:
Inclusive training and practical toolkits
Access to inspiring case studies
Marketing support and directory listings
One-to-one guidance from Accessibility Ambassadors
Support with award applications, including the Go North Wales Accessibility Award
