Not everyone knows where little old Wales is on the World map 🗺️

Tourists are already flocking to North wales solely because of the Wrexham story
People want to buy into it and experience the atmosphere and hype for themselves

Naturally tourists will want to see what else our great country has to offer and tourism from this Wrexham story will filter down South.

In any case we down South get everything so I wouldn’t be jealous of tourist revenue going up North to our gogg cousins

It’s the bigger picture
I've spent a lot of time in the States. Where are you from they ask? I reply Wales. Is that Wales England is the response.

Not that long ago there wasn't even a decent hotel in Wrexham. Since the building of the dual carriageway from Wrexham to Chester most people preferred to stay on the English side of the border. I don't know what it's like now but things would have to improve drastically for it to be a decent place to experience a tourism boon. People might visit there from overseas out of curiosity but I would be surprised if there is much else to captivate their interest preferring either to travel to Cheshire or inland towards North Wales proper.
