Record\-breaking visitor figures were recorded at Cadw sites as well as the best ever figures being achieved for Amgueddfa Cymru sites. 

Tourism businesses in Wales have enjoyed a successful summer. 40% received more visitors than last summer, which in itself was a much better summer than 2015 \- and a similar proportion (39%) received the same level.

Figures from Cadw show record\-breaking summer visitor figures, partly generated as a result of the Cadw Dragons’ tour across its historic sites, which was part of Wales Year of Legends activity. 

  


The figures show that more than half a million visitors explored Cadw sites during July and August this year – the highest number ever welcomed during the summer season and an increase of 8\.2% compared with summer 2016\.

  


This figure contributes to a total of more than 900,000 visitors welcomed since April 2017 – an increase of 12% against the same period last year. This means that annual visitors are on track to reach 1\.5 million for the first time by the end of the year.

The success is in part attributed to Cadw’s Live the Legends campaign which brought a family of Welsh Dragons to life in celebration of Wales’s 2017 Year of Legends. As a whole, the Dragons’ summer presence helped generate a 15% increase in family visitors versus July and August last year – from 87,333 in 2016 to 101,051 in 2017\. The Dragon campaign also saw the launch of Little Dragons – an augmented reality smartphone game which allows visitors to ‘snap’ virtual dragons at seven castles across Wales and to date, has been played by nearly 18,000 users.

Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales also welcomed a record 297,792 visitors to its seven museums in August – the best ever August visitor figure achieved by Amgueddfa Cymru up on August 2016 by 18\.9%.

By individual museum, in August, St Fagans had an amazing 117,584 visitors – its second highest figure since 2002 when it had 126,808 visitors, and National Museum Cardiff had a record 76,614 visitors.

Across August and July, National Museum sites attracted half a million visitors (492,845\), which is a 17% increase on the same period in 2016 and up by 6\.3% on the last record summer in 2012\.

Increase in visitors can be attributed to a number of developments including the Dinosaur Babies exhibition at National Museum Cardiff; the re\-opening of the main building and new developments at St Fagans National Museum of History as well as the Dino on the Loose campaign. 

In addition, a wide variety of reasons have been given for the busy summer generally. The most frequent reasons reported in the Tourism Barometer were businesses’ own marketing (23% of businesses with increased visitors) and more British people staying in the UK (16% of those reporting an increase).

Following a busy summer, 82% are feeling confident or fairly confident about the reminder of 2017\.  

Economy Secretary, Ken Skates, said: 


> “It’s extremely encouraging that these figures show that 2017 is really proving to be another successful year for tourism in Wales. We’ve seen two very successful years and we’re looking to sustain that growth.  Although there is much uncertainty, it’s evident that the weaker pound has meant that more people are opting to holiday at home this year. I’m delighted that the industry is looking forward to the rest of the year with confidence.

> “The figures for Cadw and Amgueddfa Cymru, also show that innovative ideas such as the touring dragons and Dino on the Loose can capture the imagination and spark a renewed interest in Welsh heritage – which has been fantastic to see during Wales’ Year of Legends.”

Accommodation occupancy figures over the 12 months ending July 2017 also point towards a busy summer with occupancy for hotels, B\&Bs and guesthouses up one percentage point on 2016\.  Static caravan occupancy saw a rise of 7 percentage points to 84% when compared with the same period in 2016 while touring occupancy rates rose by 5 percentage points.

Roedd ffigurau ymwelwyr ar safleoedd Cadw wedi torri recordiau a gwelwyd y ffigurau gorau erioed ar safleoedd Amgueddfa Cymru.

Mae busnesau twristiaeth yng Nghymru wedi cael haf llwyddiannus iawn. Dywedodd 40% o fusnesau iddyn nhw gael mwy o ymwelwyr na haf llynedd, ac roedd hwnnw'n haf gwell na haf 2015 \- a dywedodd cyfran debyg (39%) iddyn nhw weld tua'r un faint o ymwelwyr. 

Mae ffigurau Cadw yn dangos bod ffigurau ymwelwyr yr haf yn uwch nag erioed, diolch yn rhannol i daith y Dreigiau o gwmpas safleoedd hanesyddol Cadw fel rhan o Flwyddyn Chwedlau Cymru. 

  


Mae'r ffigurau'n dangos bod rhagor na hanner miliwn o bobl wedi ymweld â safleoedd Cadw ym misoedd Gorffennaf ac Awst eleni \- y nifer fwyaf erioed yn nhymor yr haf a chynnydd o 8\.2% o'i gymharu â haf 2016\. 

  


Mae'r ffigur yn rhan o'r cyfanswm o fwy na 900,000 o ymwelwyr ers mis Ebrill 2017 \- cynnydd o 12% o'i gymharu â'r un cyfnod llynedd. Mae'r ffigurau'n awgrymu bod y cyfanswm blynyddol ar drywydd cyrraedd 1\.5 miliwn am y tro cyntaf cyn diwedd y flwyddyn. 

  


Mae'r llwyddiant i'w gyfrif yn rhannol i ymgyrch Chwilio am Chwedlau, a ddaeth â theulu o Ddreigiau'n fyw i ddathlu Blwyddyn Chwedlau 2017\. Gwnaeth presenoldeb y Dreigiau dros yr haf helpu i sicrhau cynnydd o 15% yn nifer y teuluoedd a ymwelodd o'i gymharu â Gorffennaf ac Awst llynedd \- o 87,333 yn 2016 i 101,051 yn 2017\. Fel rhan o ymgyrch y Dreigiau, lansiwyd Dreigiau Bach \- gêm realiti estynedig ar ffôn clyfar sy'n caniatáu i ymwelwyr 'snapio' rhith\-ddreigiau mewn saith castell o gwmpas y wlad a hyd yma, mae'r gêm wedi'i chwarae gan bron 18,000 o ddefnyddwyr. 

  


Gwnaeth 297,792 o bobl ymweld â saith safle Amgueddfa Cymru ym mis Awst \- y ffigur uchaf ar gyfer mis Awst erioed yn hanes Amgueddfa Cymru, i fyny 18\.9% ers Awst 2016\. 

Fesul amgueddfa, ym mis Awst, gwnaeth 117,584 o bobl ymweld â Sain Ffagan, nifer aruthrol a'r ail ffigur uchaf ers 2002 pan gafwyd 126,808 o ymwelwyr, a chroesawodd Amgueddfa Genedlaethol Caerdydd 76,614 o ymwelwyr, mwy nag erioed o'r blaen. 

Ym misoedd Gorffennaf ac Awst, denodd Amgueddfa Cymru hanner miliwn o ymwelwyr (492,845\), sy'n 17% o gynnydd o'i gymharu â'r un cyfnod yn 2016, a 6\.3% yn uwch na'r haf gorau cyn hynny yn 2012\. 

Gellir priodoli'r cynnydd i nifer o ddatblygiadau, gan gynnwys arddangosfa'r Dinosoriaid yn Deor yn Amgueddfa Genedlaethol Caerdydd, ailagor y prif adeilad a datblygiadau newydd yn Amgueddfa Werin Cymru yn ogystal â'r ymgyrch Deino yn Dianc. 

Mae amrywiaeth eang o resymau wedi'u cynnig am brysurdeb yr haf yn gyffredinol. Y rheswm mwyaf cyffredin yn y Baromedr Twristiaeth oedd ymgyrchoedd marchnata'r busnesau eu hunain (dywedodd 23% o fusnesau eu bod wedi cael mwy o ymwelwyr) a mwy o bobl gwledydd Prydain yn aros ym Mhrydain (16% yn dweud iddynt weld cynnydd). 

Ar ôl haf prysur, dywedodd 82% eu bod yn teimlo'n hyderus neu'n weddol hyderus ynghylch gweddill 2017\. 

Dywedodd Ken Skates, Ysgrifennydd yr Economi: 


> "Mae'n galonogol iawn bod y ffigurau hyn yn dangos bod 2017 yn profi'n flwyddyn lwyddiannus arall i dwristiaeth yng Nghymru. Rydym wedi cael dwy flwyddyn lwyddiannus o'r bron ac rydym yn gobeithio cynnal y twf hwnnw. Er bod llawer o ansicrwydd, mae'n amlwg bod y bunt wannach yn golygu bod mwy o bobl yn dewis aros gartref ar gyfer eu gwyliau eleni. Rwy'n falch iawn bod y diwydiant yn edrych tua gweddill y flwyddyn yn hyderus.

> "Mae ffigurau Cadw ac Amgueddfa Cymru'n dangos hefyd bod syniadau blaengar fel dreigiau'n teithio a Deino wedi Dianc yn gallu cydio yn nychymyg pobl a sbarduno diddordeb newydd yn hanes Cymru \- profiad gwych inni yn ystod Blwyddyn y Chwedlau."

Mae'r ffigurau defnyddio llety dros y flwyddyn hyd at ddiwedd mis Gorffennaf 2017 hefyd yn dangos inni gael haf prysur, gyda lefelau defnydd mewn gwestai, llety gwely a brecwast a thai llety i fyny un pwynt canran o'u cymharu â 2016\. Gwelwyd cynnydd o 7 pwynt canran i 84% yn lefelau defnydd carafanau sefydlog a chynnydd o 5 pwynt canran yn lefelau defnyddio cerbydau teithiol. I weld y ffigurau ymwelwyr diweddaraf. ewch i: http://gov.wales/docs/caecd/research/2017/170926\-wales\-tourism\-business\-barometer\-wave\-3\-2017\-cy.pdf
