Jon said 'The points Andy raises are almost always valid ones'. Why then are we no further forward? Please read Jon's comments revealed through an FOI, in my linked to blog post, that detail Jon's frustration with his Visit Wales colleagues. Please read this blog post in light of my ongoing 'of 50' posts here on LinkedIn. Jon is fully aware of these businesses that ought not be platformed by Visit Wales according to their onboarding rules, rules that Visit Wales use to preclude my business, Wales Outdoors, an entry. https://lnkd.in/eGhMyvWJ Jon Munro Heledd Owen Claire Carew Sally Walters MCIM Lyndsey Handley alyson tippings Alice Brown Faye Tanner Phill Sykes Lynne Richards Claire Hamer DipM MCIM Chartered Marketer Julian Hitchcock Kevin Ford Stephen Leeke Hamish Munro Tim Howell Martin Astley Kim Waters Rhodri Davies DipM MCIM CMktr Kate Gardner Fiona Wilton Kerry Jennings Jo Nugent Rebecca Clay Nicola Edwards CMktr MCIM Julie Heaven Antony Bolter Nerys Royal Stephen Davies George Reid Michael Bewick Jim Jones Once again, I do NOT want any legitimate business removed from the Visit Wales website. However, I cannot sit back and allow Visit Wales to preclude my business while promoting and continuing to onboard new and similar competitors. Please raise this issue at regional tourism forums and anywhere that you come across Visit Wales staff. Please help me pressure Visit Wales into doing the right thing. Finally, please note that almost all festivals in Wales fall outside of the onboarding rules, many including all walking festivals have recently been removed from the platform, and that in the second year of 'Wales by Trails' there remains no bookable guided walk businesses available for visitors to the site to search and engage with. Shocking stuff! This matter has been unresolved for four years. It's time for Visit Wales to apologise to me and all other guides in Wales and to compensate me in a meaningful manner for four documented years of discriminatory practice.
