Other key promises include, making some commonly-littered plastics illegal, creating a national forest from north to south Wales and making 20mph the default speed limit in residential areas and ban pavement parking wherever possible.

He said: "A tourism tax, properly done, will benefit the industry because what it will allow those local authorities to do is to invest in the things that make those areas attractive to tourists in the first place.
"At the moment it is those local resident populations who pay for everything. They pay for the toilets, they pay for the car parks, they pay for the local museum, they pay for the local festival—anything that is put there to attract people into the area, it is those local residents who bear the cost in full."
