It is hoped the reopening of visitor attractions in Wales will provide a boost to the nation's hard-hit tourism sector.
Indoor gyms, swimming pools, dance studios and leisure centres in England are allowed to reopen today for the first time in four months - but at least a third of public facilities are expected to remain shut due to financial hardship.
But Community Leisure UK, the members' association that specialises in representing charitable leisure and culture trusts across England, Scotland and Wales, estimated that 48% of all public leisure facilities face closure, meaning as many as 1,300 could disappear by the end of the year, along with more than 58,000 jobs.
