Owners of Welsh tourist accommodation have been warned not to accept bookings from England when the country’s rules on tourism are relaxed
Self -contained accommodation in the country is allowed to reopen from March 27 under plans set out by the Welsh Government
First Minister Mr Drakeford told the PA news agency: “People who let accommodation should not be taking bookings from people who live outside Wales.
“We will be talking with our local authority colleagues and with the police next week, just to see if there is anything we need to do to mobilise our own enforcement authorities.
“If the industry were to act irresponsibly, the penalty would be we wouldn’t be able to carry on reopening the industry.
“I know there are rogues in any part of life. But I think that the industry will absolutely recognise that we want to go beyond self-contained accommodation. We want the tourism industry in Wales to have a longer and better season this year than we managed last year.”
