Tourism and the Grasshopper Warbler

BBC Radio Wales - Country Focus, Tourism and the Grasshopper Warbler

The contentious issue of a tourism tax, and is it an insect or a bird?

A visitor levy for holidaymakers - what does it mean for rural Wales? And we hear from a noisy grasshopper warbler - but spotting it is another matter!

Welsh Government plans for a tourism levy on holidaymakers are set to be be put before the Senedd in the next 2 years - but will it be a boost for the rural economy or a bitter blow to the industry?  Why parking on the beach at Newport Sands in Pembrokeshire is no longer permitted.  We meet the designer of an innovative, flat pack water tank and as part of our "Birds of Conservation Concern in Wales" the experts are out looking for the Grasshopper Warbler!
