Question

To ask the Scottish Executive whether rising fuel prices may impact adversely on the tourism industry and, if so, what measures it proposes in the tourism industry to address this issue.


Answer

Fuel prices are one factor that people will take into account when deciding where to go on holiday. VisitScotland and the Area Tourist Boards continue to successfully promote all parts of Scotland within our important UK and near European markets, with all areas reporting a very good start to the current year.
