STA Policy Update: STA publishes Local Visitor Levy Manifesto with Recommendations

The Scottish Tourism Alliance (STA) Local Visitor Levy Manifesto with Recommendations has been developed to help inform national and local government about the key considerations Scotland’s tourism industry believes must be taken into account should the Scottish Government decide to proceed with local visitor levy legislation.

The industry, represented by the STA, firmly believes that should this legislation be progressed, it must be centred on ensuring Scotland remains as competitive a visitor destination as it can be. Most importantly, the STA is conscious of how this policy is deployed at a local level to deliver the best possible outcome for tourism, with no unintended consequences for the sector. The STA’s recommendations set out in the manifesto seek to ensure that.
