Efallai ei bod yn werth cofnodi i’r Aelodau enghraifft ddiddorol o ymchwil i’r farchnad. Wrth deithio ar y llong i Ynys Staten daeth gwraig atom yn ddirybudd - roedd wedi’n gweld ni’n gwisgo’n bathodynnau Cymreig - a dweud ei bod yn arwain grŵp o gerddwyr yn flynyddol ar eu gwyliau ar hyd y llwybrau arfordirol o gwmpas Tŷ Ddewi. Canmolodd yr ardal am ei harddwch eithriadol a’r croeso gwresog i’w pharti Americanaidd bob amser. Cefais fy nghalonogi gan hyn. Mae twristiaeth yn rhan bwysig iawn o’n heconomi ac mae gennym lwyfan cadarn i adeiladu arno.
It is perhaps worth recording for Members an interesting example of anecdotal market research.  Travelling on the Staten Island ferry we were approached, unprompted, by a lady – she’d seen we were wearing Welsh badges and insignia – who reported that each year she leads a group of walkers for a holiday on the coastal paths around St David’s.  She gave a glowing report of the outstanding beauty of the area and the warmth of the reception her American party invariably receive.  I took heart from this.  Tourism is a massively important part of our economy and we have a strong platform on which to build.
