The Welsh Government is to invest £4 million in tourism attraction Skyline Swansea, and more backing is expected from Swansea council. The £4 million contribution was described by officials as one of the largest investments in the tourism and hospitality in Wales sector for years.
New Zealand-based Skyline Enterprises wants to build a gondola ride from the Hafod-Morfa Copperworks area across the River Tawe up to the top of Kilvey Hill, St Thomas, where there would be luge runs, a zipline, sky swing, biking and walking trails, and food and drink outlets.

It complements other regeneration projects in the area as well as supporting economic growth and all year-round jobs.
