Cardiff is not only the Welsh capital city, but it is also the most popular tourist destination in Great Britain besides England’s capital, London. The city of Cardiff is also the largest Welsh city, but it remained only a small town until the start of the 19th century. It was during the early 1800’s when the small Welsh town of Cardiff saw itself grow into an immenely important port involved in the transportation locally mined coal, plus other local industry. Cardiff received city status, from King Edward VII of England, on the twenty eighth of October 1905, but, weirdly, it only became the capital city of Wales on 20th December 1955. After Cardiff was declared the capital it soon became the perfect place for a number of national institutions, including the University of Wales Registry Building, the National Museum of Wales and the Welsh National War Memorial. Over the last few decades the Cardiff Information and Technology sector of business has experienced dramatic rates of expansion as well as, although to a lesser degree various other areas of business, especially in service industries. Tourism has also witnessed dramatic increases and these days there are large numbers of establishments providing Cardiff bed & breakfast.
