Do you capture how many adults and how many children on your system at the moment?

Bil Llety Ymwelwyr (Cofrestr ac Ardoll) Etc. (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 8
No, it's good to have that clarification. Thank you.

But they would fall within the remit of this legislation, in that case. Thank you for that clarification.

And would they pay for those?

And then, I'm just thinking out loud, with the National Eisteddfod of Wales, the Royal Welsh Show and the Urdd Eisteddfod, they pop up for a week a year in different parts of the country. Would there be a similar sort of situation there?

So, that would be—. In a registration process, they would need to be registered.

That's the one, yes.

Based on pop-up sites that you're aware of, and you have some—. You talked about 200-and-something registered sites that don't operate all year round, but are there—? How does that work with regard to the planning and the regulation that you've already got?…
30 Ionawr 2025 , Finance Committee
Bil Llety Ymwelwyr (Cofrestr ac Ardoll) Etc. (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 8
What sort of information is collected at that level at the moment?
30 Ionawr 2025 , Finance Committee
Bil Llety Ymwelwyr (Cofrestr ac Ardoll) Etc. (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 8
Just on that, it would be piecemeal then, though, wouldn't it, rather than a national register?
30 Ionawr 2025 , Finance Committee
Bil Llety Ymwelwyr (Cofrestr ac Ardoll) Etc. (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 8
Of course. Thank you very much for that. I'll hand over to Sam Rowlands.

So, that day-tripper or overnight-stay aspect, do you have a handle on that at all, or is it just that it doesn't—
30 Ionawr 2025 , Finance Committee
Bil Llety Ymwelwyr (Cofrestr ac Ardoll) Etc. (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 8
Any thoughts on that particular aspect, William, or just—?
30 Ionawr 2025 , Finance Committee
Bil Llety Ymwelwyr (Cofrestr ac Ardoll) Etc. (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 8
So, has that shifted from overnight to day-trippers? Is that where that's gone? Are people still coming, but they're not staying, or are they just not coming at all, or don't you know?

Thanks, Rhianon. So, you've mentioned in your evidence that the implementation of the levy would compound some of the effects of existing Government policies already impacting the tourist sector. Could you elaborate a little bit on that, and maybe give us a…

That's a very interesting point. I'll bring Rhianon in. I think she wants to come in on this point.

Yes, and I've got Rhianon who wants to come in as well, but, Sam, you go first.

So, just following from what you're saying, that it needs to be that additional bit, how would you do it? How would you have that confidence that that money would be spent on the additional bit? Is there anything extra you'd want in the Bill or in guidance?…
30 Ionawr 2025 , Finance Committee
Bil Llety Ymwelwyr (Cofrestr ac Ardoll) Etc. (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 8
We've heard today from quite a few about additionality, and making sure that it is additional and not instead of, and that's something that's become quite clear in some evidence, to say, 'Well, it shouldn't be to replace or to displace spending in that area'…

Bil Llety Ymwelwyr (Cofrestr ac Ardoll) Etc. (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 8
If we follow that point, then, to start off with, you've got concerns regarding the ring-fencing of the levies for local authorities and how they would potentially spend those, and it is on the face of the Bill what those broad areas are. What are your…
