Croeso i Gymru – Welcome to Wales! As we all prepare for Worldchefs Congress & Expo 2026, let`s immerse ourselves in Welsh culture, starting with the word “Croeso” 🏴
Croeso is the Welsh word for “welcome”, and it’s used just like in English. You’ll see it on signs, in shops, and on the smiling faces of people across Wales. It also means “you’re welcome” – the perfect response when someone says diolch (thank you)!
We look forward to welcoming you all to Worldchefs Congress & Expo next May in Wales.
