Snowdon path ‘covered in human faeces’ as hundreds flock to mountain over Easter break
A Snowdon guide had to tell her group to ‘mind the poo’ on her sunrise hike up the popular Wales path
Rebecca Williams, assistant director of National Trust Cymru, told the BBC creating a tourism offer that was “year-round, all weathers and not just on these Easter weekends” could help these natural beauty sites be managed better.
“If we want to make tourism sustainable [we need] to ensure that it is coordinated, controlled and that we are working with communities to ensure communities aren’t left to manage the burden,” she told BBC Radio Wales.
Sustainable tourism - what a delightful tick-box addition to the natural world that would be. I wonder what it means? A wild guess would be that sustainable tourism means fewer tourists of the right kind. Maybe eventually that would be only those with sufficient social credit.

You could substitute almost any social activity for the word "tourism" and that sentence would work as a general introduction to any Quango or NGO.
When I hear the word 'sustainable' I reach for my revolver!
Is a quango an NGO considered in its own terms?
Wasn't there supposed to be a 'bonfire of the Quangos' sometime in the past? Perhaps it never happened, like Global Warming!
Sam - good point, maybe it's a standard template.
Anon - it's certainly one way to prove that nothing is ultimately sustainable.
Sackers - that's certainly how they assume it should be.
Tammly - I bet health and safety wouldn't allow it.
