Annual Membership £50

An invitation

I’d like to invite you to join Midlothian Tourism Forum. Here, Midlothian businesses come together to hear the latest news and plan for developments in and around Midlothian (for example, the Borders Railway, the Year of Food and Drink) and the business opportunities these developments bring.

Owners or managers of restaurants and hotels, visitor attraction managers, local food and drink producers, accommodation providers, marketing specialists and many more from across Midlothian, network with each other, and have contact with Midlothian Council, Visit Scotland and Mid and East Lothian Chamber of Commerce.

We invite guest speakers to events who offer something innovative and relevant to our visitor market. We also operate our own website on which members have an enhanced listing and publish marketing material spanning the tourism industry in the area.

The Forum is operated by and for Midlothian businesses, all our office-bearers work in the tourism industry here. We meet every two months and organise special events and training sessions.

Tourism Forum membership offers you all of these benefits including an enhanced listing on www.visitmidlothian.org.uk and special discounts for Forum members for just £50/yr or discounted to £80 for 2 years.

I hope you will decide to join us. Please email us at [email protected]: we’ll be delighted to welcome you.

With best wishes for a successful season,

Yours sincerely
