Mae’r cyllid wedi’i gynnig drwy’r cynllun Cymorth Buddsoddi Mewn Amwynderau Twristiaeth. Nod y cyllid yw ariannu prosiectau seilwaith bach (amwynderau i ymwelwyr) yn sector twristiaeth Cymru, gan dargedu sefydliadau cyhoeddus, y trydydd sector a sefydliadau dielw.  Cyllidwyd y prosiect hwn drwy Cymunedau Gwledig Llywodraeth Cymru \- Rhaglen Datblygu Gwledig Cymru 2014\-2020, a ariennir gan Lywodraeth Cymru a’r Gronfa Amaethyddol Ewrop ar gyfer Datblygu Gwledig.

Mae’r cyllid wedi’i neilltuo ar gyfer prosiectau seilwaith ledled Cymru i wella amwynderau ar gyfer ymwelwyr yn ogystal a phrosiectau a fydd yn datblygu cyrchfannau o safon uchel.

Dywedodd Ken Skates, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet: 


> “Mae cynllun y Cymorth Buddsoddi Mewn Amwynderau Twristiaeth yn ffordd ardderchog inni helpu’r sector twristiaeth i wella cyfleusterau ac amwynderau lleol.  Yn aml, ni roddir fawr o sylw iddyn nhw, ond maen nhw’n cyfrannu’n sylweddol at brofiadau ymwelwyr â Chymru a’r argraff sy’n cael ei chreu o’r wlad. Bydd pobl leol hefyd yn elwa arnyn nhw.  
> 
> “Mae’r cyllid wedi darparu cyfle gwych i bartneriaid lleol bennu grŵp o brosiectau a all wneud gwahaniaeth. \&nbsp;Mae ymwelwyr yn disgwyl i bob agwedd ar eu hymweliad fod o’r ansawdd gorau, gan gynnwys llety, gwybodaeth, toiledau a meysydd parcio. Mae rheoli’n cyrchfannau twristiaeth yn allweddol os rydyn ni am barhau i ddarparu profiadau o ansawdd uchel i ymwelwyr yn unol â’n huchelgeisiau strategol. Mae darparu’r cyllid hwn yn cyfrannu at greu cyrchfannau gwell.”

Mae’r prosiectau yn cynnwys gwella llwybrau beiciau; gwella mynedfeydd a chyfleusterau traethau baner las; darparu lleoedd parcio i ymwelwyr ac arwyddion a thoiledau cyhoeddus. Bydd y prosiectau hefyd yn bodloni blaenoriaethau lleol a rhanbarthol yn ogystal â blaenoriaethau cenedlaethol. 

Dyma rai enghreifftiau penodol: 

* Cyngor Sir Gwynedd – Gwella maes parcio ar gyfer coetsys a gwella cyfleusterau (£40,792\). Yn ystod y blynyddoedd diweddar, mae tua £6 miliwn wedi’u buddsoddi yng Nghastell Harlech a’i gyffiniau. O ganlyniad, mae nifer yr ymwelwyr wedi codi 35% i 102,000 ers 2014/15\. Fodd bynnag, mae safon y lle parcio a’r cyfleusterau toiled yn israddol. Mae hyn yn effeithio ar fodlonrwydd cwsmeriaid, ac mae diffyg cyfleusterau parcio i goetsys wedi sicrhau nad yw llawer o gwmnïau teithio yn fodlon ymweld â Harlech.
* Yr Ymddiriedolaeth Camlesi ac Afonydd – Creu maes parcio newydd i ymwelwyr (Traphont Ddŵr a Chamlas Pontcysyllte). Ers i Draphont Ddŵr a Chamlas Pontcysyllte ddod yn Safle Treftadaeth y Byd yn 2009, mae nifer yr ymwelwyr yn yr ardal wedi codi 70%. Basn Trefor, sy’n ffinio â Thraphont Ddŵr Pontcysyllte, yw un o’r prif ganolfannau ar gyfer pobl sy’n ymweld â’r safle treftadaeth sy’n denu dros 250,000 o ymwelwyr bob blwyddyn.
* Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru – Gwaith Celf yn seiliedig ar lwybrau arfordirol ar gyfer Blwyddyn y Môr (£32,000\). I dynnu sylw at lwybrau arfordir Cymru yn ystod Blwyddyn y Môr, mae Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru am gomisiynu gwaith celf a fydd yn denu sylw’r cyhoedd ac yn adlewyrchu statws unigryw prif lwybrau cerdded Cymru.
* Cyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Castell\-nedd Port Talbot – Pontneddfechan, Gwlad y Sgydau (£88,822\). Ar hyn o bryd, nid oes lle parcio ffurfiol ac mae ceir yn parcio ar hyd y stryd fawr sy’n arwain i’r pentref.  Nod y prosiect yw creu tua 43 o leoedd parcio wrth y ganolfan i ymwelwyr ym Mhontneddfechan,  gan greu mwy o leoedd parcio na’r ddarpariaeth bresennol a darparu cyfleusterau parcio mwy diogel. Dylai hyn wella’n sylweddol brofiadau ymwelwyr a sicrhau ymweliadau hirach.

Mae pob sefydliad wedi cael llythyr yn cynnig y cyllid drwy gynllun y Cymorth Buddsoddi Mewn Amwynderau Twristiaeth. Derbynnir y cynigion hyn yn ffurfiol yn ystod yr wythnosau nesaf a rhoddir cynllun prosiect ar waith gyda’r awdurdod rheoli perthnasol.

The funding has been made available through the Tourism Amenity Investment Support scheme (TAIS), aimed at public, third sector and not for profit organisations for investment targeting small scale infrastructure (visitor amenity) projects in the tourism sector in Wales. This project has received funding through the Welsh Government Rural Communities \- Rural Development Programme 2014\-2020, which is funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and the Welsh Government. 

The funding has been allocated to infrastructure projects across Wales which will see improvements to visitor amenities as well as products which help develop high quality destinations.

Cabinet Secretary, Ken Skates, said: 


> “The Tourism Amenity Investment Support scheme is an excellent way for us to assist the tourism sector to make the improvements to the local facilities and amenities.  These facilities often go unnoticed \- but are an important part of the experience that people have of Wales and they impression with which they leave  \- and will also benefit those who live in the area.  
> 
> “The funding has provided a great opportunity for local partners to identify a cluster of products which can really make a difference.  Visitors expect the best quality in all aspects of their visit from the accommodation through to information provision, toilets and parking.  The management of our tourism destinations is key if we are continue delivering a high quality visitor experience in line with our strategic ambitions \- this funding is another building block to create better destinations.”

The projects include Improvements to cycle paths; Upgrades to access \& facilities at blue flag beaches; Visitor parking; Signage and public conveniences and reflect  local and regional destination activity as well as national priorities. 

Specific examples include: 

* Gwynedd County Council – Upgrade Coach Park and upgrade facilities (£40,792\). In recent years, around £6m has been invested in and around Harlech Castle and this has seen visitor numbers increase by 35%. However, parking \& toilet facilities in the town are substandard and this not only impacts on customer satisfaction but the absence of dedicated coach parking facilities has actually stopped many tour companies from including them on itineraries.
* Canal and River Trust – Create new visitor parking (Pontcysyllte Aqueduct \& Canal). Since Pontcysyllte Aqueduct \& Canal became a World Heritage site in 2009 the visitor numbers have incrementally increased by as much as 70% in some locations. Trevor Basin, adjacent to the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, is a major hub for people visiting the World Heritage site and is now attracting over 250k visitors a year.
* Natural Resources Wales – Artwork in relation to Coast path for Year of the Sea (£32k). To celebrate the Wales Coast Path (WCP) during the Year of the Sea, NRW propose commissioning artwork that will capture the public’s imagination, framing our iconic landscape and embodying the path’s status as Wales’ premium walking route.
* Neath Port Talbot CBC – Waterfall Country Pontneddfechan (£88,822\). Currently car parking within Pontneddfechan is informal with parking along the main road into the village.  The project to create approx. 43 off road car parking spaces at the Visitor hub at Pontneddfechan increasing the capacity of existing parking provision, safer parking facilities and significantly enhancing the visitor experience and dwell time.

All organisations have received a letter offering the funding through TAIS,   these offers will be formally accepted over the next few weeks and a project plan put in place with the relevant managing authority.
