The Scottish Tourism Alliance (STA) is delighted that Fiona Hyslop MSP will remain in post as Cabinet Secretary for Culture, Tourism and External Affairs.
The member Council of the Scottish Tourism Alliance (STA) welcomes the reaffirmed Scottish Government position that it will not legislate to grant powers to local authorities to introduce a Transient Visitor Tax without the full involvement of the tourism industry and ensuring that the long term interests of the industry are fully recognised.
Transform Scotland today launched the report 'Routes to Growth: Developing Scotland's Cycle Tourism Sector'. The report builds upon earlier research by Transform Scotland and Sustrans Scotland which highlighted the multi-million pound benefits of leisure cycle tourism to the Scottish economy (up to £345 million per year).
