Conwy Gold Ambassadors - in their own words

The first Wales Ambassador Week is taking place from 20-26 November 2023.

The aim of the Wales Ambassador Week is to highlight the scheme by celebrating our existing Ambassadors and encouraging more people to become Ambassadors.

Here are some of the great comments that we have received recently from our Conwy Gold Ambassadors:

I feel blessed to live in North Wales. From home I can visit beautiful beaches, rugged mountain landscapes and rolling hills. I can head out and watch a sunset from the top of an ancient hill fort or stroll where the mountains meet the sea enjoying ever changing views in different lights.

What I love about being a Wales Tourism Ambassador is being able to grow my own knowledge about the beautiful place I call home, and then share it with others on my social media platforms so they can enjoy this special place too, in person, or through my photos.

Being a tourism ambassador for Conwy is a great way of both learning and passing on knowledge about the wonderful area we live in.

Guests at our bed and breakfast in Trefriw really appreciate any help and advice we can give them and having interesting and useful information to share about the local area - relayed to them passionately, enthusiastically and with credibility - is fantastic for us as a business, but also for everyone else welcoming visitors here.

I no longer live in Wales having left Conwy to move to Brussels just over a year ago. I came across the Ambassador scheme and thought it would be a good way to maintain my connection to Conwy and learn some new things about my home county that I could use to promote Wales and Conwy in Belgium.

The course is enjoyable and set out in an accessible and engaging way that allows you to learn more about the history and culture of Conwy even if you are already very familiar with the area.

I really enjoy the interaction with tourists to our beautiful area, especially on Conwy Quay. I have social media sites for photography and events in the area. Ribster13 Photography media is well known around the area and a smile and laughter always works a treat. Though I would like the opportunity to earn an income from this work as I put in many hours.
