I SEE that the Tourist Information Centre is closing at Newport Library. However, bearing in mind that there is nothing to encourage people to visit Newport city centre, then it’s not surprising.

As I mentioned before, the American Gospel Choir who performed at Caerleon Amphitheatre stayed in a hotel in Cwmbran. No surprise there!
It is a fact that two great hotels have closed in Newport, namely The Kings Hotel and the Westgate Hotel. This is why tourists do not visit the town centre. I used to see, years ago, coachloads of Chinese tourists staying at the Westgate Hotel.
I would like to know why this has happened.
