New Welsh holiday park to open

A new £110 million development in north Wales is set to provide a boon for the prospects of those hunting for hospitality jobs.

Bluestone Holiday Park will feature a village-like design as the project becomes a potential tourist mecca with the UK's largest indoor wave, a snow dome and 335 timber apartments on its 500-acres.

The development will also include a strip of restaurants, pubs and shops.

William McNamara, Bluestone's creator, is excited to see the project finally take shape.

He said: "It's been a long and sometimes difficult journey but we're here and we're preparing to take tourism in Wales to a new level.

"It's hugely gratifying and exciting for me to see my vision finally come to fruition."

Although Bluestone has been the subject of some controversy and legal wrangling, the development will create between 350 and 400 full time jobs when fully operational.

Andrew Davies, minister for enterprise, innovation and networks said at the launch of the project: "It [Bluestone] is a major undertaking that will not only create hundreds of full time jobs, provide a raft of career choices, [and] boost skills levels."

Bluestone is due to open in July 2008.
