STA Publishes Local Visitor Levy Manifesto with Recommendations

Ahead of the Scottish Government’s plans to introduce legislation that will give local authorities the power to introduce a visitor levy, as the recognised overarching tourism body for Scotland, the Scottish Tourism Alliance (STA) has produced a Local Visitor Levy Manifesto with Recommendations,

The manifesto has been sent to John Swinney, Deputy First Minister and Interim Cabinet Secretary for Finance and the Economy; Tom Arthur, Minister for Public Finance, Planning and Community Wealth; and Ivan McKee, Minister for Business, Trade, Tourism and Enterprise.

The STA has invited the Scottish Government to consider in detail and respond to the recommendations contained in the Manifesto.
