Recognising the need for Scotland’s tourism businesses to maintain contact throughout Covid-time with travel intermediaries around the globe, VisitScotland has organised the Scotland Reconnect 2021 event, which will take place between 27-29 April, following a highly-successful inaugural digital event last November.

Last year’s Scotland Reconnect was the first time the national tourism organisation had delivered a virtual trade event on this scale. VisitScotland said that feedback was that this had been hugely successful, with several hundred Scottish tourism businesses from across the country taking part in some 5,000 meetings with international travel trade from 23 countries, aimed at creating tour packages for future visitors.
