Llanelli scoops top tourism award

WWT National Wetland Centre Wales, Llanelli has officially been hailed the best day out in Carmarthenshire. In the first Carmarthenshire Tourism Association’s tourism awards held last week, WWT National Wetland Centre Wales fought off stiff competition from two other finalists to be named ‘Top Day Out’ in Carmarthenshire 2009.

The winners were announced at a gala awards dinner at the Stradey Park Hotel in Llanelli hosted by the Carmarthenshire Tourism Association in partnership with The Carmarthen Journal and Llanelli Star newspapers. Picking up the award on behalf of WWT National Wetland Centre Wales, Acting Centre Manager, Eleanor Keatley said: “We are both proud and thrilled to receive this award which is a testament to the tremendous hard work and commitment of the staff and volunteers here at WWT National Wetland Centre Wales.

"Not only is it fitting that we have won this award the very first time, but it also coincides with Sir Peter Scott’s centenary which is wonderful!”
