2012 which resulted in over 180 business leads with trade buyers from the UK,
USA, Canada, India, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Russia, Japan, China, Spain,
Italy, France, Finland and New Zealand. The stand was managed by
representatives from local tourism marketing associations and the programme is
funded by the Council, HIE, Argyll and the Islands LEADER,
the VisitScotland Growth Fund, and local marketing
associations. These activities are the outputs of excellent partnership
working between the public and private sectors”.
