Editorial Opinion
When Katherine Jenkins steps out for her concert at Margam Park in July, she will be in the middle of one of the region's best tourist attractions. I'm waiting to see Neath Port Talbot council's revamped plan for the park. Their original scheme included a national photography centre in the historic castle.
From Port Talbot to Carmarthen, the region has lots of attractions. But are they all working together to attract visitors? We are often guilty of being too parochial in our approach.
An economic report on my desk this week stressed the need to accept the concept of "city regions" as a locomotive of economic growth.
That means leaders in places like Neath and Llanelli accepting that the future prosperity of their towns is inextricably linked to Swansea's development, however unnatural that may be for them.
