Wednesday, 07 May, 2004 0

A website dedicated to wildlife tourism has been launched by VisitScotland.

The site features live webcam images of nature reserves and attractions throughout Scotland.

It holds information on 130 wildlife-retaled attractions and nature reserves and has been created to meet growing demand from tourist to se sildlife in its natural environment.

The tourist office claims that a quarter of all visitors to Scotland can be expected to enjoy a “wildlife-related experience” during their stay.

Research found that 71% of respondents said wildlife was a feature most people wanted to see and find out about during a visit. Almost 80% said they would like to see a dolphin or porpoise in their natural environment.

VisitScotland head of UK marketing Alistair Gronbach said: “Scotland is cementing its reputation as Europe’s premier wildlife-watching destination. Few other countries of this scale can offer such a rich and diverse natural environment.” 

The site is at www.visitscotland.com/wildlife
