STF Launches Scottish Tourism Week 2008
The Scottish Tourism Forum (STF) has announced details of this year's Scottish Tourism Week which will take place throughout Scotland from the 4th-11th March 2008. The week is aimed at raising the awareness of tourism as Scotland's most sustainable industry.Scottish Tourism Week, which was initiated by the Scottish Tourism Forum in 2006, connects on a business-to-business level and encourages politicians to engage with tourism businesses in order to better understand the issues of concern to those working in tourism.
'Scottish Tourism Week will bring the private, public and elected sector together under one positive agenda, that is, how we can work together to drive forward tourism across Scotland,' says Iain Herbert, STF Chief Executive.
'We are determined to build on the success of previous Scottish Tourism Weeks in order to create a positive political climate for growth in tourism, which will in turn support and attract greater levels of private investment.'
A focal event is Scotland United, the Scottish tourism industry conference. Jim Mather, Minister of Enterprise, Energy and Tourism, will open the conference on Wednesday 5th March at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh.
Other highlights of STW include a Parliamentary Reception at Holyrood, and an industry dinner at Glasgow Science Centre on 6th March, where guests will be addressed by John Swinney, Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Sustainable Growth.
The week also includes a range of useful business-focussed events, including familiarisation visits at Forestry Commission Scotland forest parks, a Futures Lecture by VisitScotland's scenario planner Professor Ian Yeoman on hotel revenue management, an e-tourism workshop by Highlands Business Research in Aviemore, a sustainable tourism event supported by HIE in Fort Augustus and Scottish Enterprise's Tourism Customer Service Conference in Glasgow.
STF will also launch an exciting new online project during Scottish Tourism Week, which will encourage MSPs to engage with tourism businesses in their local area. Details of this initiative will be announced shortly.
