Just What are Tourist Boards FOR? STORY PULLED
“Like all public agencies, they are ultimately trying to make life better for the people living in the country they promote. To do this they must take into account their environmental and socio/cultural impacts on those inhabitants – otherwise they risk being a net burden rather than a net benefit to the people they serve.â€
Sandy Dear, Sustainable Tourism Manager for VisitScotland:
“So, Sandy, Tourist Boards are not about increasing tourism to their destinations, they are about getting better lives for their citizens, using tourism as the tool. Right?â€
