Wales is perhaps an unlikely destination for a luxury break or for international tourists to visit.
However, the picturesque country that is often known for its wet weather is hoping to shake off its caravan holiday image with a new campaign aimed at the top end of the market.
Emyr Griffith from the Welsh Rarebits, a group trying to bolster tourism and promote the best places to stay in Wales, thinks that Wales has already made headway.
"Twenty years ago Wales was thought of as a caravan holiday, self-catering destination, but now I believe that we have a quality product," he told the BBC.
Amongst Wales' delights are the mountain range Snowdonia, numerous castles including Caernarfon, and a wide array of walking, fishing, golfing and adventure activities to take part in.
The Welsh Tourist Board will be hosting several Chinese buyers at its October event in the hope of appealing to the Chinese tourist market.
Tourism is Wales' second biggest industry and brings in £2.5 billion a year.
