VisitScotland board member search begins
We have announced a search for new people to join our board. And we're looking to appoint up to three new board members to help shape the future of Scottish tourism.
Applicants should demonstrate experience in one of these areas:
- Strategic importance of human resources
- Sustainability / environmental management
- Work for a large global hotel group or working at a senior level in the transport sector whether road, rail, air, or sea
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the tourism industry was worth around £12 billion to Scotland’s economy, representing around 5% of Scottish GDP, and making it a vital provider across Scotland’s cities, towns, and rural areas.
Scotland had seen significant increases in visitor numbers, pre-2020, particularly from overseas, showing that the recovery of the tourism industry is crucial to the country’s overall economic bounce back. The Scottish Government is committed to working with Scotland’s tourism industry and other partners to support this common goal and VisitScotland, plays a critical role in achieving it.
