Welsh visitor tax plans spark anger in local tourism industry: 'We'll be clobbered by it' The rugged mountains, limestone caves and spectacular waterfalls of Bannau Brycheiniog - the Brecon Beacons - attract visitors from all over the world.
"In an area like this all we've got is tourism and farming - there is nothing else," says Ashford Price from the National Showcaves Centre, a visitor complex of cathedral sized caverns, winding tunnels, a dry ski slope, shire horse centre, self-catering accommodation and campsite.

"Even Welsh people who live in Wales will be clobbered by this tourism tax," he said.
"If they go on like this the future for Welsh tourism is really, really bleak.
