Mae digwyddiadau’n rhan hanfodol o’r economi ymwelwyr ac, fel y nodir yn y Rhaglen Lywodraethu, mae Llywodraeth Cymru “yn benderfynol o wneud popeth o fewn ei gallu i helpu ein diwydiannau twristiaeth, chwaraeon a chelfyddydau i adfer yn sgil profiadau’r pandemig”. Ni ellir diystyru’r effaith y mae’r pandemig wedi ei chael – roedd y sector digwyddiadau ymhlith y cyntaf i gau a’r olaf i agor, a gwnaethom gydnabod pwysigrwydd digwyddiadau i economi Cymru, a llesiant y genedl, drwy ddarparu bron £24 miliwn i fwy na 200 o fusnesau unigol yn y sector digwyddiadau, a hynny drwy gynnal tair rownd gyllido o’r Gronfa Adferiad Diwylliannol.
Events are a vital part of the visitor economy and as set out in the Programme for Government, the Welsh Government is “determined to do all we can to help our tourism, sports and arts industries recover from the experience of the pandemic”.  The impact of the pandemic cannot be underestimated - the events sector was one of the first to close and last to open and the importance of events to the economy of Wales and the well-being of the nation was recognised by the support that we provided of almost £24m to over 200 individual businesses in the events sector through three rounds of the Cultural Recovery Fund.
