English: Diolch, Heledd. Can I start by agreeing absolutely with your opening remarks about how the threat to tourism and the visitor economy at the moment is the cost-of-living crisis? I think most of our tourism partners and stakeholders would tell us that. Myself and the Minister for Economy regularly meet with tourism stakeholders, and that is one of the issues that they tell us, not just in terms of them running their businesses and the additional costs and the threats to their businesses for that, but actually the cost to visitors to come here, because that is one of the things that gets knocked off the list when people are thinking about essential spend. So, I absolutely agree with you on that. In terms of the slate heritage, again I agree. The slate industry has been described as the most Welsh of industries. Nearly all the workers were native to the region, they were from within Wales, the Welsh language was used consistently at all levels of the workforce and management, and that is still the case today. So, I think very much that is something that is important to recognise and is important to embed in the visitor offer. The visitor offer has to embed the Welsh language as being part of your experience of travelling to and visiting that part of north-west Wales. That is very much something that I know that Gwynedd Council and Snowdonia national park, who are partners in the development of the landscape, are very keen to ensure happens, and it's written into their development plans. On the infrastructure, again, there is nothing I would argue with you on that. The infrastructure is much wider than anything within my brief, because that is a huge question, which involves my colleagues in other ministries, but one of the things that I could say is that that is something very much that a tourism levy could assist with, in terms of the infrastructure - it would help to develop an area for tourism. But the infrastructure in terms of how those tourist attractions are developed is very much the responsibility of the local authority, and I guess that is one of the things that they will be taking on board and they will be thinking about when they decide whether or not they would want to have a tourism levy in that area. Just to come back to your point about Welsh language and culture, the world heritage site nomination - not necessarily now about the tourist attraction, but the world heritage site nomination - recognised the importance of the Welsh language and culture. The steering board and the board meetings for the heritage site are all held in Welsh, and the language remains central with the community engagement and ambassador schemes. I would not be fearful of any threat or concern around the development and the promotion of the Welsh language in that area. To come back, then, to your final point, which I think is a very valid point, about the north Wales museum and the slate museum and their interaction and their relationship, the development of the museum of north Wales, as you know, was a significant programme for government commitment, as is the redevelopment of the National Slate Museum site at Llanberis. To be clear, Heledd, because it may not have been in my statement, the redevelopment of the museum will focus on providing new, improved visitor welcome facilities, education facilities and community facilities to support the international profile that the UNESCO world heritage site will bring. But the redeveloped museum will become the north Wales headquarters for Amgueddfa Cymru. So, that will house displays of extensive collections of art, natural science, history and archaeology from the region that are currently held in other parts of Wales. So, it is about transferring that to north Wales. And it's hoped that the redeveloped museum will then become a hub for other cultural and heritage offers across the region. In terms of where we're going with that, work is under way on a feasibility study, which will include presenting proposals for how a museum of north Wales and the enhanced role for the National Slate Museum will be delivered. Amgueddfa Cymru has established an internal steering group now to develop that project, and a project director has recently been appointed to lead on that. And I know that Amgueddfa Cymru has engaged with the local community and visitors to the site, as well as museums and cultural organisations across Wales, and they're continuing to gather feedback on how that site, both the slate museum and the north Wales museum, should be developed.
Welsh: Diolch, Heledd. A gaf i ddechrau drwy gytuno'n llwyr gyda'ch sylwadau agoriadol sef mai'r bygythiad i dwristiaeth a'r economi ymwelwyr ar hyn o bryd yw'r argyfwng costau byw? Rwy'n credu y byddai'r rhan fwyaf o'n partneriaid twristiaeth a'n rhanddeiliaid yn dweud hynny wrthym ni. Rydw i a Gweinidog yr Economi yn cwrdd yn rheolaidd â rhanddeiliaid twristiaeth, ac mae hwnnw'n un o'r materion y maen nhw'n sôn amdano, nid yn unig o ran eu busnesau a'r costau ychwanegol a'r bygythiadau i'w busnesau, ond mewn gwirionedd y gost i ymwelwyr i ddod yma, oherwydd dyna un o'r pethau sy'n cael ei fwrw oddi ar y rhestr pan fydd pobl yn meddwl am wariant hanfodol. Felly, rwy'n cytuno'n llwyr â chi ar hynny. O ran y dreftadaeth lechi, eto rwy'n cytuno. Mae'r diwydiant llechi wedi cael ei ddisgrifio fel y diwydiant mwyaf Cymreig. Roedd bron pob un o'r gweithwyr yn frodorol i'r rhanbarth, roedden nhw'n dod o Gymru, roedd Cymraeg yn cael ei defnyddio'n gyson ar bob lefel o'r gweithlu a'r rheolwyr, ac mae hynny'n dal i fod yn wir heddiw. Felly, rwy'n credu'n gryf bod hynny'n rhywbeth sy'n bwysig i'w gydnabod ac mae'n bwysig ei ymgorffori yn yr arlwy i ymwelwyr. Mae'n rhaid i'r arlwy i ymwelwyr fod â Chymraeg yn ganolog iddo fel ei bod yn rhan o'ch profiad chi wrth deithio i'r rhan honno o'r gogledd-orllewin ac wrth ymweld â hi. Mae hynny'n rhywbeth yr wyf yn gwybod bod Cyngor Gwynedd a pharc cenedlaethol Eryri, sy'n bartneriaid yn natblygiad y dirwedd, yn awyddus iawn i sicrhau y bydd yn digwydd, ac mae'n rhan o'u cynlluniau datblygu nhw. O ran y seilwaith, eto, does dim y byddwn i'n dadlau gyda chi yn ei gylch o ran hwnnw. Mae'r seilwaith yn llawer ehangach nag unrhyw beth yn fy mriff i, oherwydd mae hwnnw'n gwestiwn enfawr, sy'n cynnwys fy nghydweithwyr mewn gweinidogaethau eraill, ond un o'r pethau a allwn i ddweud yw bod hynny'n rhywbeth mawr y gallai ardoll twristiaeth gynorthwyo ag ef, o ran y seilwaith - byddai'n helpu i ddatblygu ardal ar gyfer twristiaeth. Ond mae'r seilwaith o ran sut mae'r atyniadau twristaidd hynny'n cael eu datblygu yn gyfrifoldeb mawr ar yr awdurdod lleol, ac am wn i mae hwn yn un o'r pethau y byddan nhw'n rhoi sylw iddo ac fe fyddan nhw'n ystyried pryd y byddan nhw'n penderfynu a fydden nhw eisiau cyflwyno ardoll dwristiaeth yn yr ardal honno ai peidio. I ddod yn ôl at eich pwynt am iaith a diwylliant Cymru, roedd enwebiad Safle Treftadaeth y Byd - nid o reidrwydd nawr ynglŷn â'r atyniad twristaidd, ond yr enwebiad safle Treftadaeth y Byd - yn cydnabod pwysigrwydd yr iaith a'r diwylliant Cymraeg. Mae'r bwrdd llywio a'r cyfarfodydd bwrdd ar gyfer y safle treftadaeth i gyd yn cael eu cynnal yn Gymraeg, ac mae'r iaith yn parhau'n ganolog o ran y cynlluniau ymgysylltu a llysgenhadon cymunedol. Ni fyddwn yn ofni unrhyw fygythiad na phryder ynghylch datblygu a hyrwyddo'r Gymraeg yn yr ardal honno. I ddod yn ôl, felly, at eich pwynt olaf, sy'n bwynt dilys iawn yn fy marn i, am amgueddfa gogledd Cymru a'r amgueddfa lechi a'u rhyngweithio a'u perthynas nhw, roedd datblygiad amgueddfa gogledd Cymru, fel y gwyddoch chi, yn ymrwymiad sylweddol yn rhaglen lywodraethu'r Llywodraeth, fel mae ailddatblygu safle Amgueddfa Lechi Cymru yn Llanberis. Er mwyn bod yn glir, Heledd, oherwydd efallai nad oedd yn glir yn fy natganiad, bydd ailddatblygu'r amgueddfa yn canolbwyntio ar ddarparu cyfleusterau croeso newydd, gwell i ymwelwyr, cyfleusterau addysg a chyfleusterau cymunedol i gefnogi'r proffil rhyngwladol a ddaw yn sgil safle treftadaeth y byd UNESCO. Ond bydd yr amgueddfa wedi ei hailddatblygu yn dod yn bencadlys gogledd Cymru ar gyfer Amgueddfa Cymru. Felly, bydd yn gartref i arddangosfeydd o gasgliadau helaeth o gelf, gwyddoniaeth naturiol, hanes ac archaeoleg o'r rhanbarth sy'n cael eu cadw mewn rhannau eraill o Gymru ar hyn o bryd. Felly, mae'n golygu trosglwyddo'r rheiny i'r gogledd. A'r gobaith yw y bydd yr amgueddfa wedi ei hailddatblygu wedyn yn dod yn ganolbwynt ar gyfer cynigion diwylliannol a threftadaeth eraill ar draws y rhanbarth. O ran ble awn ni gyda hynny, mae gwaith ar droed ar astudiaeth dichonoldeb, a fydd yn cynnwys cyflwyno cynigion ar gyfer sut y bydd amgueddfa gogledd Cymru a swyddogaeth well i Amgueddfa Lechi Cymru yn cael eu cyflawni. Mae Amgueddfa Cymru wedi sefydlu grŵp llywio mewnol nawr i ddatblygu'r prosiect hwnnw, ac mae cyfarwyddwr prosiect wedi'i benodi'n ddiweddar i arwain ar hynny. Ac rwy'n gwybod bod Amgueddfa Cymru wedi ymgysylltu â'r gymuned leol ac ymwelwyr â'r safle, yn ogystal ag amgueddfeydd a sefydliadau diwylliannol ledled Cymru, ac maen nhw'n parhau i gasglu adborth ar sut y dylid datblygu'r safle hwnnw, yr amgueddfa lechi ac amgueddfa gogledd Cymru.
