A major tourism attraction in Swansea would create 100 new jobs in its first year of operation and bring an £84m boost to the local economy by 2039 if it goes ahead, a report has claimed.
The Skyline Swansea project has been proposed by New Zealand company Skyline Enterprises. The company wants to build a gondola (cable car) route, gravity-fuelled Luge ride, a zipline, sky swing, new walking and mountain bike trails, and food and drink outlets on Kilvey Hill.
The project is set to receive a £4m investment from the Welsh Government, via a £3m grant plus £1m in repayable finance. Additional funding from Swansea Council is also expected after the company asked the council’s help in meeting the build costs of the £40m attraction to make the project profitable quicker.
