SCOTO Events
In partnership with the Participation and Communities Team, we have organised the below event to help you form your opinions and ensure that they are heard.
At our September SCOTO Gathering on Thursday 7 September at 7pm we will will be joined by Allan Hunter, a clerk from the Participation and Communities Team and Greig Liddell from the Scottish Parliament Information Centre (SPICe).
This interactive session will be held as an official community consultation for the Bill, meaning that notes from this SCOTO meeting will be on public record, and the Committee will consider this information alongside all the other evidence gathered.
SCOTO TVL Survey
Making sure that the voices of community tourism is heard.
SCOTO is keen to gather views from our network and be able to present a community tourism perspective on what is proposed which can then form part of our evidence which will be the focus of our TVL Gathering on 7 September 2023. Please complete the survey below:
