Our Major Events Strategy, which we published In November 2002, sets out the Executive's vision of Scotland becoming one of the world's foremost events destinations by 2015. The strategy was developed in close partnership with key players in the public sector already involved in major events, including sportscotland, VisitScotland, the Scottish Arts Council, Scottish Enterprise, Highlands and Islands Enterprise, COSLA and the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow.The strategy is now being taken forward by EventScotland, which is a joint venture between the Executive and VisitScotland; it has been allocated £10 million funding from the Scottish Executive via VisitScotland in the next three years (£2 million this year, £3 million in 2004-05 and £5 million in 2005-06).
