TripAdvisor has forecast a bumper summer for Swansea’s tourism thanks to the newfound notoriety of one of its beaches.
Last week Rhossili Bay was voted the number one beach in the UK, third in Europe and 10th in the world in TripAdvisor’s beaches poll.
According to figures released today, its TripAdvisor views increased by 58 times in the five days following the announcement.
"Judging from the increased interest in the Bay, the village of Rhossili should be prepared for what could be a bumper summer," said TripAdvisor spokesperson, Emma Shaw.
Rhossili Bay’s success got worldwide media coverage for the Gower Peninsular beauty spot and even sparked debate in Australia, where papers were incensed that the Welsh beach had beaten beaches down under.
