AN EPIC 360-mile touring route designed by the team behind Attractions of Snowdonia is once again opening up partnering opportunities with North Wales businesses as the tourism economy heads boldly out of lockdown.

Snowdonia 360 is a unique journey taking in the best of North Wales, including top attractions, accommodation providers, eateries and retailers, helping drive visitors to the area as an all year round destination.

It takes in a vast range of places to visit, ranging from internationally recognised hotspots to hidden gems way off the hidden track.

With a renewed confidence following an in-demand summer, the organisation is now calling on like-minded businesses and enterprises interested in becoming part of the initiative, to get in touch.

Jonathan Williams-Ellis, chair of Attractions of Snowdonia and Snowdonia 360, said: “Lockdown inevitably put an abrupt pause on our activity.

“However, we have bounced back in full force during the summer months, with many of our members reporting a total sell out.

“We now want to continue to build on this momentum and strengthen our offering with increased members.

“We want to hear from businesses that offer visitors something a little different or that really showcase its own sense of place in Snowdonia or North Wales.

“Ideally, we're looking for businesses that represent the best things to do, best places to stay, best pubs, restaurants, cafés and bars and best shops and services.

“The concept of the staycation has gathered mass appeal and we want to retain this momentum. We want to capture that potential audience and provide them with a complete visual package of the very best this region has to offer.”

Attractions of Snowdonia is a consortium of 29 leading North West Wales attractions, established 30 years ago.

All leading attractions are included within the route under tier one memberships, while accommodation and food outlets will form part of tiers two and three associate membership.

Anyone can access the website (www.snowdonia360.com) and create their own itinerary, and are encouraged to share their path, passions, profile and experiences on an open online sharing platform attached to the site.

Snowdonia 360 aims to capture the attention and take-up of groups ranging from families to couples, single travellers, cyclists, caravan enthusiasts, adventure seekers, food lovers, historical aficionados and more.
