"Huge thanks to MWT Cymru's team for their help with Creative Cardigan' press and marketing. We are new members and the support has been brilliant. We had a massively successful Giant Lantern Parade with hundreds of lanterns and thousands of people turning out to watch the procession. MWT Cymru's support was vital and we couldn't have done it without you."

"I have been a member of MWT Cymru for many years and they have been a great help to me in growing my business. Last year Zoe set up a new website for us and it has brought me a lot more customers; I have received very positive comments regarding the website from customers. The layout is compatible with different devices which is essential these days as people booking campsites sometimes leave it until the last minute and it is important that we show up on their phones etc. The website is very easy to amend, you have the control. If you are capable you can do the adjustments yourself; in my case I ring Zoe up and she does it for me! Zoe and Val and the staff at MWT cannot be more welcoming and helpful, they are only a phone call or an email away and will sort out any problem or do amendments to the website straight away. Running the business without MWT would be a lot more stressful!"

"I have only been aware of MWT Cymru for about a year but I have found them invaluable. Zoe and Val are so helpful with any queries and Zoe has recently done a fantastic job of upgrading our website for us. She made the complicated process seamless and nothing is too much trouble. The benefits of being a member of MWT Cymru are vast."

"Membership is the most cost-effective thing I've done to advertise my business by far. My website hits absolutely sky-rocketed when I joined membership and got my listing on www.visitmidwales.co.uk. When I looked at analytics, I couldn't believe the difference it made to my website. I came to one of the free membership workshops and it was fantastic, and throughout Covid membership has been a brilliant support for Rainwild. With all the additional support, it's something I'd definitely recommend."

"It is strange to say this, but the importance of MWT has gone sky high for me [since Covid-19]. The times we have spoken have been so valuable, positive and helpful. I am proud to be associated with MWT. You are an exceptional team."

"Having been a member of MWT Cymru for ten years the service I have received is fantastic with Val and Zoe always on the end of the phone with help for the smallest of queries. As years have gone by with new technology systems, who better than MWT to create websites with up to date pages, widgets, online booking and much more. If it all seems a bit daunting at times then there is always a warm welcome and a coffee at the office where you will receive one to one help! An invaluable service. I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for MWT!"

"I've received great value from MWT. I am relatively new to the tourism industry and have learnt a lot via this organisation. Recently Zoe at MWT has produced a new website for me that is also mobile friendly. It is very up to the minute and she has brought her experience of the marketplace to bear. I am very happy with the advice and information I receive from MWT and especially like the personal and friendly attitude of the excellent staff."

"I completely appreciate all the assistance, marketing and hard work that the staff at MWT Cymru do to always be at hand for guidance... Zoe's input to guide me over the last 10 years has been invaluable re managing my holiday home and marketing the cottage to its full potential. The results are quite unbelievable with bookings flowing in every year. Next year - 2017 - 26 + weeks already booked. This is proof alone of how the partnership between MWT and myself as a member works so well. My website 2 years ago was redeveloped by Zoe who continuously helps me by little reminders/nudges of the best way forward. " Full Testimonial From Lisa

"MWT are an invaluable support and source of advice about everything to do with tourism in Mid Wales. If they don’t know the answer, they know someone who does.
Their websites and social media work are an essential element in the overall marketing of Mid Wales and we make full use of Guestlink to provide an on-line booking platform for the Labyrinth at a low cost.
One of the benefits in normal times is the opportunities that MWT offer for networking with other people in the business and, during the pandemic, it has been a channel for government advice and other help to deal with the abnormal circumstances we find ourselves in.
A key aspect of MWT work is the representational role they perform, passing on to government and others the views of the industry and the problems that it faces, the help that is needed and potential solutions to problems. This activity has never been more important than over the last year (2020/21) when the whole tourism industry has been fighting for survival. MWT, working with their colleagues in the Wales Tourism Alliance, provides a strong voice for tourism in a way that is impossible for individual businesses."
