The bad news for people who want to go on holiday in Wales

The government have dealt a cruel blow to holidaymakers who were hoping to go on holiday to the beautiful country of Wales.

Wales boasts beautiful scenery, B&B's and caravan parks and is a very popular destination for holidaymakers.

But the Welsh First Minister Mark Drakeford says the country faces a difficulty in re-opening the tourism and travel sector, reports Birmingham Live.

On Monday, Mr Drakeford told prospective holidaymakers how the country's approach to coronavirus is unlikely to change imminently.

Currently, people in Wales are told to "stay local" - and urged not to travel beyond a five mile radius.

Mr Drakeford said this will not change until mid-July at the very earliest.

He also warned B&Bs and hotels with shared facilities face having to overcome hurdles to re-open.

He said: “There is a distinction to be drawn between people travelling to stay somewhere where they have their own kitchen and bathroom.

“That would be different from someone travelling to stay to a place where they are sharing kitchens, showers and toilets and where, inevitably, the level of risk would be greater.”

Mr Drakeford said that, in a best case scenario, self-contained accommodation, such as cottages and self-catering flats, may be permitted to re-open at some point this summer.
