What's Happening?
Plans have been approved to convert the former Royal Oak Camp at Llangorse Lake into a year-round holiday park. The site, previously an activity center for school children, will now offer holiday cottages and improved facilities, including a reconfigured car park and enhanced on-site restaurant. The development aims to attract a broader visitor base while aligning with the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park's Sustainable Tourism Strategy. The project focuses on low-impact design, utilizing sustainable materials and energy-efficient features, and is expected to boost the local economy through increased tourism and job creation.
Why It's Important?
The transformation of the Llangorse Lake site into a holiday park represents a significant shift towards sustainable tourism in the region. By repurposing existing structures and minimizing environmental impact, the project aligns with broader efforts to promote responsible tourism. This development is expected to generate economic benefits for the local community by attracting more visitors and creating jobs. Additionally, it supports the Welsh Government's priorities in enhancing access to natural beauty while preserving the environment, setting a precedent for future tourism projects in the area.
