To ask the Scottish Executive what support is being made available for farm tourism.

We announced in August, as part of the foot-and-mouth disease recovery package, that £300,000 would be spent on developing environmentally based tourism opportunities for the farming sector. Initial work has been undertaken. The project will focus on Dumfries and Galloway and the Borders.
