With regret, Tenby Development Trust has to announce its plans for creating a hotel school in Tenby have been defeated. Over the last two years, detailed discussions have involved the universities of Swansea Metropolitan, then Cardiff Metropolitan and finally University of Wales Trinity St. David and a considerable effort has been made by members of the Trust, their project partner Fourcroft Hotel and a number of supporting organisations, not least Coop Consultants, Pembrokeshire County Council, Collaborative Communities, Wales Co-operative Centre, Visit Wales and, indeed, the tourism industry itself. Trustees are frustrated that the concept won much support from so many people and organisations, and the independent feasibility study undertaken endorsed its viability yet it is still unable to proceed. As a matter of record, the funding was not the problem, merely that the universities were unable to accommodate the project in their current strategic plans. The trust moves on to other projects to realise opportunities for the town's enhancement, Fourcroft Hotel is still in business, now and now for evermore, and the prospect of Tenby as a university town remains a long-term aspiration.
