Is Tourism affected by Broadband speeds?

When I first joined HySpeed Broadband, I set about finding a demographic that needed our service, or a partnership to work with. I stumbled upon the tourism sector. As many city folk agree checking e-mails, Facebook, twitter, and of course reading the HySpeed Broadband blog are essential in life.
Where would you be if you couldn’t do a little bit of Facebook stalking?

A news report published yesterday in titled ‘Broadband notspots ‘hold back tourism in rural Wales’ states that the ‘not-spots’ in rural Wales is a large factor to how a company competes on the market, often losing out on sales due to not supplying an active internet connection. One Pembrokeshire hotelier has spent £8,000 putting a wireless broadband system in to offer his guests a Wi-Fi connection.

Satellite internet for Wales/ satellite broadband for Wales, whatever you want to call it. The Welsh government are trying to help by offering a grant of up to £1,000 for installing a broadband connection. On record only 1,700 people have applied for this scheme so far.

Satellite broadband could be an option for those living in Wales. The scepticism the public have over satellite broadband is the speed, and will it really work? I can assure you before I came to work for HySpeed Broadband I to disbelieve anything that was not either copper cabled or the ever so prominent fibre optics. But seeing the satellite system in operation installed my trust in it. In fact I am currently using it now without a hitch.

Chris Osborne, chair of Wales Tourism Alliance stated in the article ‘if this satellite broadband service can deliver what it claims, it will make a significant difference, not only to rural tourism businesses, but also their customers who demand good internet connections during their trip.’

The choice is really down to you for which internet provider you choose, and/or what system you would want to use. But for technical knowledge, experience and customer relations we can sure point you in the right direction.

Thank you for reading, to read more about this issue why don’t you try.



Just a quick reminder. HySpeed broadband does work with the Welsh government broadband scheme. And will gladly demonstrate our service. Satellite internet for Wales for the future request today.

I hope you have enjoyed reading.
