SCOTLAND’S tourism Minister Fergus Ewing has announced an additional £40,000 for VisitScotland to boost the promotion of the country as an accessible tourism destination.
Part of the Scottish Government money will be used to fund an accessible tourism pilot project in Glasgow and Lanarkshire.
Working in partnership with attractions, accommodation providers, restaurants, cafes, and bars, VisitScotland aims to develop part of the area into an “accessible destination”, creating online itineraries tailored for those with accessibility needs.’
The country’s tourism minister, Fergus Ewing, said: ‘I encourage disabled people and their friends and family to take this opportunity to visit somewhere new together.’
Chris McCoy, who heads Scotland’s Accessible Tourism Project at VisitScotland, said: ‘In Scotland, the Accessible Tourism market is conservatively estimated at £391 million, and yet it is still a largely untapped market. The extra money from the Scottish Government will allow us to work with the tourism industry to create itineraries that will help people with accessibility needs make the most of their visit to Scotland.’
