  • Destination Management in Wester Ross Baseline Reports Consultation Exercise Winter, 2019/20
    Destination Management in Wester Ross Baseline Reports Consultation Exercise Winter, 2019/20 Context Upwards of an estimated c.100,000450,000 tourists visit Wester Ross every year, sustaining local communities through their input to the local economy. However, in the current climate we know that there are concerns that a rise in tourism over the past few years coupled with difficulties in infrastructure investment may not be sustainable. We have to accept that mass tourism is not going away, but we don’t have to accept that tourism management in Wester Ross continues to be reactive; instead of proactive. Together we can change that. Instigated by the Wester Ross Biosphere, (a community managed UNESCO designation that exists to connect people and nature to inspire a positive future), a steering group was formed of Public Sector representatives, ourselves and Visit Wester Ross with the intention of developing a community-led Destination Management Plan (DMP). We believe that by working together, across public sector, community and industry we can make small changes so that a culture of managing and planning for tourism development can be fostered. Wester Ross can be a great place to visit and a great place to live. DMPs are as dull as they are exciting. They consider all aspects of the Visitor Experience, from ensuring everyone has access to basic facilities and infrastructure to planning what exciting activities to get up to on holiday. The process is being led by Wester Ross Biosphere with staff resources from an EU Northern Periphery and Arctic Program project called SHAPE (Sustainable Heritage Area, Partnerships for ecotourism).

  • Access and Transport Baseline Report 2019
    Access and Transport Baseline Report 2019 Produced as part of the Wester Ross Destination Development Plan preliminary research Context Upwards of an estimated c.100,000 tourists visit Wester Ross each year, sustaining local communities through their input to the local economy and tourism accounts for 35% of employment[1]. However, in the current climate (Summer 2019) there are concerns that a rise in tourism of up to 27% (estimate[2]) over the past few years may not be sustainable. Although a different perspective is that this has followed a deep recession in the tourism industry and visitor numbers have yet to return to the high levels enjoyed during the 1990s, the current situation is exacerbated by Local Authority and Public Agency budget cuts which have resulted in plans to close public toilets and a deterioration in road quality. In addition, the type of visitor has changed, Wester Ross is welcoming large amounts of campervans which require waste disposal facilities which are not yet in place. Local people are reporting over-flowing carparks and bins, increasing litter pollution and irresponsible behaviour. It is not unusual for local residents to cite increased litter as a negative aspect of tourism[3] and this together with other perceived negative impacts can become challenging to tourism development as the host community begin to view visitors less than favourably. Therefore, the World Tourism Organisation advises regions to adopt a model for tourism management which considers the social as well as economical and environmental impacts of tourism[4]. Mass tourism is not going away[5]. But currently, there is no hard-empirical evidence on visitor numbers, expectations and behaviour or condition of assets in Wester Ross which would allow communities, businesses, local authorities and public agencies to plan proactively.
