Is it whales or Wales?

Written by Karen Bryan

I thought this piece from the Travel Daily newsletter was quite amusing. At a lunch in Sydney, Australia, yesterday hosted by Visit Wales, marketing director Roger Pride described a number of confusions about the destination. He said that on a recent trip to New York to promote Wales he told a taxi driver what he did for a job, and received the response “Great animals – do all you can to save them”. And at another event he was on a stand promoting Welsh cuisine labelled “Cheese from Wales’ and was asked several times how it’s possible to milk a whale.
