HC Deb 25 June 1964 vol 697 c119W
61. Mr. Gower

asked the Secretary of State for Industry, Trade and Regional Development what is the latest estimate of the number of tourist visitors to Wales during 1963; and how many came from other parts of the United Kingdom and overseas, respectively.

Mr. D. Price

Estimates issued by the British Travel and Holidays Association show that nearly 4½ million holidays were taken by British people in Wales during 1963. No information has been obtained to show the proportion coming from other parts of the United Kingdom. In 1960 the proportion was estimated at about 86 per cent. No estimates are yet available of the number of overseas visitors who stayed in Wales last year.
