To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the statement on enterprise networks by the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Sustainable Growth on 26 September 2007, how it will ensure that aligning VisitScotland with the six new regional enterprise bodies will not lead to a reduction in focus on Fife’s tourist industry.
This is an operationalmatter for VisitScotland. The aim of re-aligning VisitScotland areas to match thoseof the new enterprise network regions is to increase the effectiveness of partnershipworking with the enterprise network alongside tourism businesses with the potentialto grow, and thus to release resources to deliver more locally. VisitScotland willcontinue to promote Scotland and areas such as Fife – as a must-visit, must-return destinations.
