  • Scotland's National Planning Framework 4 Think Piece – Blog
    SCOTLAND’S NATIONAL PLANNING FRAMEWORK 4 THINK PIECE – BLOG – OUR TOURISM INDUSTRY Introduction The Scottish Government is keen to bring together views and ideas from a wide range of sectors and to explore the priorities Scotland’s fourth National Planning Framework (NPF4) should address. In the twenty-seventh in a series of Think Pieces, Riddell Graham, Director of Industry and Destination Development, VisitScotland, sets out his thoughts on Scotland2050 and specifically on our tourism industry. The opinions expressed are that of the author and we hope that they will stimulate debate and discussion. The issues and opportunities: Scottish Tourism is an economic success story. A recognised contributor to the Government’s growth sectors, it generates around 5% of GDP and one in twelve of Scotland’s workforce, are employed in tourism. Tourism in Scotland is distributed throughout the country with benefits of the sector seen in cities, towns, rural locations and islands. Tourism is fundamental to the fabric of the nation. It creates income, provides job opportunities to thousands, commands investment in our transport infrastructure, supports and stimulates local communities and assists in maintaining and upholding crucial national assets. Tourism is at the heart of place development. A vibrant visitor friendly destination is good for those who live and work in those destinations creating the conditions for increased employment and investment in facilities to the benefit of all. Tourism is not, however, without its challenges. The need to develop sustainable solutions that support inclusive economic growth, jobs, communities, heritage and the environment are central to the future of tourism within Scotland.

Walton Universidad del País Vasco Resumen ste artículo propone que desde el siglo XVIII los balnearios termales del Reino Unido E han seguido una trayectoria única dentro del más amplio contexto europeo, que se concreta en la estructura de la red de balnearios, la falta de dinamismo desde principios del siglo XIX y la ausencia del papel innovador británico que se ha notado en otros aspectos de la historia del turismo.

Palabras clave: Turismo, Balnearios, Salud. Códigos JEL: N3, N5, N7. Abstract his article argues that the British experience of spa resort development since the T eighteenth century has been unique in Europe, in terms of the nature of the resort net- work, the lack of sustained dynamism, and the failure of the British role in spa tourism to match the dynamic and innovatory influence displayed in other aspects of tourism develop- ment.

  • French Travellers to Scotland, 1780-1830
    French Travellers to Scotland, 1780-1830: An Analysis of Some Travel Journals. Elizabeth Anne McFarlane Submitted according to regulations of University of Stirling January 2015 Abstract. This study examines the value of travellers’ written records of their trips with specific reference to the journals of five French travellers who visited Scotland between 1780 and 1830. The thesis argues that they contain material which demonstrates the merit of journals as historical documents. The themes chosen for scrutiny, life in the rural areas, agriculture, industry, transport and towns, are examined and assessed across the journals and against the social, economic and literary scene in France and Scotland. Through the evidence presented in the journals, the thesis explores aspects of the tourist experience of the Enlightenment and post - Enlightenment periods. The viewpoint of knowledgeable French Anglophiles and their receptiveness to Scottish influences, grants a perspective of the position of France in the economic, social and power structure of Europe and the New World vis-à-vis Scotland. The thesis adopts a narrow, focussed analysis of the journals which is compared and contrasted to a broad brush approach adopted in other studies. ii Dedication. For Angus, Mhairi and Brent, who are all scientists. iii Acknowledgements. I would like to thank my husband, Angus, and my daughter, Mhairi, for all the support over the many years it has taken to complete this thesis. I would like to mention in particular the help Angus gave me in the layout of the maps and the table. I would like to express my appreciation for the patience and perseverance of my supervisors and second supervisors over the years.
