Membership Benefits

WASCO campaigns to gain rightful recognition of the cottage holiday industry, as Wales' most successful accommodation sector. We highlight the role our members play in sustaining long-stay, year-round visitor numbers and emphasise the benefits which our businesses bring to the local economy.
WASCO represents the voice of the industry on leading tourism organisations and groups including the Wales Tourism Alliance, the Regional Tourism Companies, WTB UK Marketing Focus group, and the Federation of National Self Catering Associations (FONSCA).
WASCO consults to achieve the best results for its members.
For example the details contained in the new Self Catering Grading Scheme, were framed by a joint WTB/ WASCO working party.
WASCO communicates with members through its newsletter "Yr Allwedd", at conferences and meetings.
WASCO's public website (www.walescottages.org.uk) provides members with the opportunity to gain additional exposure on "the net". A full page on our impressive site, offering "map-search", "quick-search" and "availability" functions are available at the very affordable price of just £55.00. The site also has a link from WTB's VisiteWales.com website.
WASCO negotiates membership discounts. Save 15% off the cost of advertising in Stilwells Cottage Guide.
