There is a theory that our West Coast will see a boom in tourism as global temps rise:

There may be some less harmful changes as a result of climate change. Long, dry summers can lead to new archaeological discoveries in the form of parch marks and crop marks, revealing previously unknown buried sites. Hotter, drier summers may also increase tourism potential and support economic development. However, increased visitor numbers can harm fragile historic environments, which need to be carefully managed to reduce their vulnerability.

This might be staycationers not flying but could also include visitors from abroad "escaping" even hotter areas, so unfortunately could mean Wales then has to develop "capacity" (airport) to accomodate incoming flights in order to capitalise on this.

Next step for me tonight is check zoopla to find prices of clapped out hotels for sale near Aberystwyth....

theory...

Yay. Pity about the forest fires, children with reduced lung function, algae puddles where rivers once were and thousands of acres of pine and rats where there was massive, ancient biodiversity. So long as people fill-up on the welsh side of the border it’s all good.

Every silver lining has a cloud... I'm kinda surprised that the "Climate Change Adaptation Plan" highlights this as a positive.

P.s. Cheapest hotel I found for sale was £350,000.
