Listen locally
Members tell us what is working, where the pressure points are and what would make a practical difference.
About BBT
Partnerships matter when they turn conversations into something useful. BBT helps local tourism businesses be heard, connects people who can help one another and brings useful opportunities back to members.
We hear directly from businesses across Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park and the surrounding area. That means we can take real experiences—not assumptions—into regional and national tourism conversations.
We also bring the information back. We read the updates, ask questions and share what matters in plain language, so members can decide what is useful for their own business.
The human network is the important bit. Our role is to connect what businesses are telling us with the people, programmes and decisions that shape tourism in Wales.
Members tell us what is working, where the pressure points are and what would make a practical difference.
We take that grounded perspective into regional forums, working groups and conversations with tourism bodies.
We translate schemes, guidance and opportunities into useful information and share it through trusted BBT networks.
Each relationship has a different purpose. We keep those roles clear, while looking for practical ways they can benefit local tourism businesses and the wider destination.
National tourism
We work with the Welsh Government's national tourism team on relevant campaigns, industry engagement and opportunities for businesses. BBT does not receive core funding from Visit Wales for this work.
Travel trade
BBT is part of the Travel Trade Wales tourism ecosystem, helping connect this part of Wales with trade audiences and sharing suitable opportunities with local businesses.
Destination partnership
We contribute a tourism-business perspective through destination work and representation connected with the Dark Sky Board and the Fforest Fawr Geopark Steering Group.
Industry representation
The Wales Tourism Alliance brings tourism organisations together to provide an independent industry voice and engage with policy affecting the visitor economy. BBT is a member, helping ensure that the needs and opportunities of tourism businesses in and around Bannau Brycheiniog are represented in wider Welsh tourism discussions.
Regional voice
We take part in regional industry conversations, including the Mid Wales Regional Tourism Forum, so the experiences of local businesses are represented beyond the destination.
A separate current pilot
BBT is taking part in the early Tour Wales pilot so local places and tourism businesses have a voice while the platform is being shaped. We will share what we learn as the pilot develops.
If a change, opportunity or pressure is affecting your tourism business, tell us. We cannot promise an instant answer, but we can listen, connect the dots and make sure the right conversations are happening.
