Trip Advisor has worked for me...

I've been working with Tourism businesses for a little while now (in relation to their online presence) and one key theme has been how much they DON'T like Trip Advisor - negative reviews, fake reviews from competitors and pretty much a bad taste in most businesses mouths. 

So I decided to put it to the test. 

What a great way to spend "Welsh Week"

(Blog entry written back at the beginning of March - must have fallen asleep before I hit the publish button!!!)

It's been Welsh week this week and it has certainly seen some great weather. I've been lucky enough to have visited some beautiful places - all for business this week but that is why I love my job so much!

In one week I've added a new place to one of my favourite places, paid a visit to the home of Premier League's only Welsh team and ticked off one of my 'places to go' which I wasn't too wowed about. :-(

A lovely visit to the gardens.

A business visit but had a cracking tour with their Marketing Manager David.

Would highly recommend a visit to those who haven't been before and be sure to visit the restuarant - Beef Stew and Rosemary Dumplings were just yummy!
