Visitor boost for Scotland

The number of visitors to Scotland rose by eight percent in the first nine months of last year, according to the latest statistics. The results from the 2011 International Passengers Survey and the GB Tourism Survey Quarters 1 - 3 show that overall spend by visitors has also gone up 11%.


 

The domestic market continues to perform well, showing increases of 10% in visitor numbers and 21% in spend. Internationally, the number of visitors fell by four percent but the number of people coming to Scotland from North America rose by 18%.


"These figures are encouraging and an excellent demonstration of the resilience of Scotland's tourism industry," said Tourism Minister Fergus Ewing. "The staycation market is continuing to boost visitor numbers and average spend is also rising.  We will continue to invest in this market and the recently launched Year of Creative Scotland will help generate even more opportunities to do so."
