Tourism Investment Support Scheme
The Tourism Investment Support Scheme (TISS) is open to existing and new tourism businesses in Wales.
Support is available to help upgrade facilities and increase capacity where there is a gap in the market.
Businesses are also encouraged to show how aspects of the planned development will directly benefit energy efficiency or environmental improvement.
Read more about the TISS scheme (pdf) and if you think your proposal is eligible apply online by completing the TISS introductory questionnaire (opens new website).

The 'visitor experience' is a key part of the visitor economy and your business.
To create a successful and sustainable visitor economy in an area, all the components that help to make a successful experience need to work together.
