Question
To ask the Scottish Government which tourist attractions it considers will not be allowed to reopen at phase 3 of its COVID-19 route map.
Answer

Businesses must implement a risk based approach to ensure they are compliant with guidance, which will be kept under regular review. This will determine the readiness of businesses across the sector to be able to open safely in phase 3. M ore detail on the lifting of restrictions will be given at each review point.
