Picturesque Welsh village gets free wi-fi to boost tourism

A picturesque Welsh village is set to be at the forefront of innovation with a new scheme that aims to boost tourism. Leading digital technology has been installed in Llanberis to provide free wi-fi to the high street.

The innovation has been brought to the area by Gwynedd Council and Menter Môn, and it is hoped the Smart Gwynedd a Môn Menter project will open the doors to further innovation in the village and help improve the area further.

As part of the scheme, sensors could be placed on bins in the area. They would alert council workers when the bins are full, so they can be emptied and would help give them information about where more bins may be needed.
