Tuesday 8th Feb saw the first session of the Pontardawe Community Tourism Ambassador training run at the Riverside Centre by staff of the Valleys Regional Park. The course is the first of two sessions to train local people to be the first point of contact, or ambassadors, to tourist visitors to our locality.
It was attended by people from both Arena Pontardawe and the Swansea Canal Society and it was clear how much local knowledge we have between us. It was good to learn how to view our locality through the eyes of the visitor and how to plan a day of activities in keeping with the interests and capabilities of people visiting the area. The second session will be run in late Feb/early March to complete the training.
