STA responds to First Minister’s announcement of £25 million funding for tourism sector

Marc Crothall, Chief Executive of the Scottish Tourism Alliance said:

“The £25 million support for Scotland’s tourism industry which was announced by the First Minister at the STA Conference is a welcome boost for businesses as we move closer to what we hope will be a reopen date at the end of April.  The funding projects are directly aligned to the Tourism Task Force recommendations which were published late last year and shows a firm commitment from the Scottish Government to working with the sector and the STA to rebuild our tourism industry through the delivery of key projects and initiatives.  A very welcome announcement, particularly on a day which has felt so positive with over 2000 people tuning in to view the conference.”
