CHALLENGES FOR THE FUTURE HERIAU AR GYFER Y DYFODOL Current economic crisis. Favours domestic tourism but adverse impacts on investment and spend. Increasing competition from other destinations both at home and abroad. Changing tastes and market demand. Provide the products and experiences people want then. The impact of new technology affecting how people plan and organise their leisure time. Climate change and the need to embrace sustainability. Increasing real transport costs might encourage people to stay closer to home. Argyfwng economaidd presennol. Ffafriol ar dwristiaeth ddomestig, anffafriol ar fuddsoddiad. Cystadleuaeth gynyddol gan gyrchfannau eraill, yn y DU a thramor. Blasau a galw marchnad cyfnewidiol. Darparu nwyddau a'r profiadau mae pobl am eu cael. Effaith technoleg newydd ar y ffordd y mae pobl yn cynllunio a threfnu eu hamser hamdden. Newid hinsawdd a'r angen i gofleidio cynaladwyedd. Bydd costau trafnidiaeth yn uwch ac yn annog pobl i aros yn agosach at gartref.

1.PROJECTING OUR DISTINCTIVE STRENGTHS We need to put North Wales firmly back on the visitor map and re-establish it as a Top 5 destination in the UK. We need to put out more compelling and inspiring messages, be less passive in our marketing and more co-ordinated. We need to create a splash and get the region talked about in a more positive way. 1. CYFLEU EIN CRYFDERAU NODEDIG Mae angen inni ail-osod Gogledd Cymru ar y map ymwelwyr a'i ail-sefydlu fel un o 5 Prif Gyrchfan y DU. Mae angen inni gyhoeddi negesau mwy cymhellgar ac ysbrydoledig, bod yn llai goddefol yn ein marchnata a'n fwy cydlynol. Mae angen inni greu sblash a sicrhau fod pobl yn trafod y rhanbarth mewn dull mwy positif.

2. INVESTING IN PRODUCT EXCELLENCE We must stimulate development and investment in the core product to meet the needs of a changing marketplace, exceed our customers’ expectations and rival the best elsewhere. Our core product needs to enhance and complement the region’s key strengths and be tuned to the needs of the target markets. 2. BUDDSODDI MEWN RHAGOROLDEB NWYDD Mae'n rhaid inni ysgogi datblygiad a buddsoddiad yn y nwydd craidd er mwyn cwrdd ag anghenion marchnad gyfnewidiol, mynd tu hwnt i ddisgwyliadau ein cwsmeriaid a chystadlu'r gyda'r gorau mewn mannau eraill. Mae angen i'n nwydd craidd wella, ategu prif gryfderau'r rhanbarth a chyd-fynd ag anghenion y marchnadoedd targed.

DARPARU PROFIAD RHAGOROL Mae angen inni drosglwyddo profiad o ansawdd cyflawn, o ddyfodiad hyd at ymadawiad, er mwyn sicrhau fod treulio amser yng Ngogledd Cymru yn brofiad pleserus. Argraffiadau cyntaf positif, hawdd symud o gwmpas a chael y gorau o'r ymweliad, croeso cynnes a gwasanaeth da ym mhobman, mannau hardd a thaclus, digon i'w archwilio, a'r synnwyr o fod mewn rhywle gwahanol.

"If you build a place people want to visit, you build a place where people want to live. If you build a place where people want to live, you'll build a place where people want to work. If you build a place where people want to work, you'll build a place where business has to be. And if you build a place where business has to be, you'll build a place where people have to visit." Maura Gast, Destination Marketing Association International July 2009
