The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lindsay Roy on 2014-03-27.

David Mundell

Scotland Office Ministers meet regularly with Scottish Government Ministers to discuss a range of matters, including tourism.

As a part of the UK, Scotland’s tourism industry benefits from the UK’s integrated single market; the ability of visitors to move freely across its constituent parts; and the work of VisitBritain, the GREAT Campaign and UKTI to promote the whole of the UK as a destination for tourism and overseas investment.

In recent months, the Government has been actively working to help ensure the successful delivery of the Glasgow Commonwealth Games, the World War 1 commemoration programme and Armed Forces Day, all of which present excellent opportunities to promote Scotland on the world stage.
