As Anglesey looks forward to welcoming visitors to the island over the summer bank holiday weekend, visitors are being reminded to rediscover Anglesey safely and respect current Welsh Covid-19 rules.

Anglesey Council are urging visitors to research and plan ahead before their visit to the island. Some key points and advice include:

• ensure accommodation, camping or caravan sites have been booked before travelling
• familiarise and research Welsh Government Covid-19 rules before travelling. (These may be different from the area you are travelling from - for example, face masks must still be worn on public transport, shops and in health and social care settings)
• use car parks and spaces, and not private land or highway verges
• keep to footpaths and bridleways
• respect the weather, coastline and tides – preparing thoroughly
• research, contact and book facilities and businesses in advance to avoid disappointment
• disposing of waste responsibly

Economic Development and Tourism portfolio holder, Councillor Carwyn Jones, said, “It’s fantastic to see so many people enjoying themselves, and that we are now able to welcome visitors to Anglesey, it will undoubtedly boost the tourism sector and local businesses in general.”

He added, “The majority of visitors to the island are extremely respectful to our local communities and have followed the Welsh Government coronavirus rules. I ask all visitors to continue to rediscover Anglesey safely over the bank holiday weekend and beyond. We have a duty of care to respect and look after on another.”
