I think Wales is one of those things like Skegness or Blackpool. It’s more for natives than it is for somebody to fly a thousand miles to see.
It’s nice and all, and fairly unique within the UK, but it’s not that unique internationally. Most countries have a nice nature-y hilly bit. They don’t all have a bunch of soldiers with silly hats that pass out in summer.
The Lake District is further from London than Wales, but plenty of tourists go there. The problem with Wales is that it’s just less tourist-friendly. The Lakes has been a popular tourist spot from more than a century and is really geared up for it, with loads of nice pubs and cafes and shops and all that. Same in Cornwall. It’s not like Wales is the only choice for nice countryside.
