McMillan Supports Scottish Tourism Week

Stuart McMillan MSP SNP has recently added his name in support of Scottish Tourism Week which takes places from the 4th to 13th March 2013.

Scottish Tourism Week is a focused week of activity aimed to increase awareness of the vital contribution Scottish tourism makes to the Scottish economy. While other parts of the economy have been struggling tourism demonstrated its endurance and the opportunities it brings for long term sustainable growth providing genuine non-transferable employment across all areas in Scotland. Scottish Tourism Week brings together the private, public and elected sector with a shared positive agenda, to remove barriers and create opportunities together to meet the economic battles that lie ahead.

Mr McMillan said:

“I am delighted to add my name in support of the upcoming Scottish Tourism Week as the industry is of vital importance to Scotland in terms of economic growth and employment opportunities.

“Scotland has a tremendous amount to offer, such as golf, tartan, whisky, food/drink, sailing, cultural and sporting events. This years tourism week has even more significance for myself as I will be hosting an official event of Scottish Tourism Week in my capacity as Convenor of the Cross Party Group on Recreational Boating and Marine Tourism. A number of Inverclyde based organisations will also be attending the day long Parliamentary event.

“I encourage people to learn more about Scottish Tourism Week and get involved in the many different events that are taking place throughout Scotland.”
