There’s an amazing array of Homecoming events in 2014 that will explore all that is great about Scotland As the clock strikes midnight on 31 December 2013 and fireworks cascade over Edinburgh Castle, Scotland will herald the beginning of a very special year. 2014 is the year that Scotland welcomes the world. Launched and closed by the breathtaking Hogmanay celebrations at either side of the year, our small but perfectly formed country will embrace 12 months of events, anniversaries and activities from global sporting events such as the Ryder Cup at Gleneagles (26-28 September 2014) and the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow (23 July-3 August 2014) to cultural, culinary, natural and historic celebrations linked to Homecoming 2014. It will be an awe-inspiring year with an unprecedented focus on all Scotland has to offer. Although many may be familiar with what to expect from the Ryder Cup and the Commonwealth Games, perhaps not as many will be well versed in understanding what Homecoming is and why it truly is something to be part of in 2014, whether you are from Scotland or not. Homecoming, put simply, is a celebration of Scotland; an opportunity for those in the country to celebrate their ‘home’; for those with links to Scotland to explore their heritage, and for those outside to discover all Scotland has to offer, from the wild rugged landscapes of the Highlands to the historic urban beauty of cities such as Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Glasgow. Events within this exceptional 12 months fall under five themes: food and drink, active, creative, natural and ancestry.

  • UK Office July 2020 TDC Report Prepared By: Venessa Alexander UK Director
    UK Office July 2020 TDC Report Prepared by: Venessa Alexander UK Director Tour Operators Trailfinders – We spoke with Rachel Webb, Destination Manager for Florida at Trailfinders and were advised that the Trailfinders Product team and other non-customer facing departments continue to work from home. But I'm pleased to say that, in a step towards normality, their travel centres in England, Wales and Ireland have re-opened their doors to their clients again, with all the necessary precautions in place, and their 3 travel centres in Scotland were set to re-open again at the beginning of July. They have now taken the decision to cancel all US departures up to 1 Aug 20 and Rachel suspects more will be cancelled beyond this. The company strategy very much remains to encourage their clients to re-book rather than cancel and as they get more product on sale, they are seeing more success. They continue to be able to book flights out of range. However, there are still gaps in their programme if their contact has been furloughed so they are having trouble securing a contract. Their receptive partners are also facing similar difficulties securing rates and then having the resources available to load. While they’ve seen a lot of interest in Florida as a whole, much of the business is being driven to Orlando where much product is on sale to the end of 2021 or, in some cases, into 2022. Currently, there's not the same amount of product on sale as usual in St Pete/Clearwater so the numbers booking are much smaller.

  • Moray Hostel in a Different Class
    MBE Director of Findhorn Village Centre, Christine Hunt, and VisitScotland Regional Director, Jo Robinson in front of the hostel Jan 11, 2017 14:16 GMT Moray hostel in a different class A volunteer-run hostel,in the heart of the village of Findhorn, has doubled its VisitScotland star rating. Findhorn Village Hostel, which was converted from an old school, has gone from a two-star to a four-star accommodation provider under the national tourism organisation’s Quality Assurance (QA) scheme after making a number of improvements. The QA scheme is a benchmark for quality across the tourism industry and operates across accommodation, visitor attractions and food sectors. The coastal accommodation, which opened in 2000, received a two-star grading in 2014 but has since been committed to development. A massive refurbishment took place in May which included a new kitchen and living room as well as the installation of double glazing. An excellent new website has been created and improvements have also been made to the hostel’s booking process. Along with two members of staff, these changes are largely down to the community spirit of the village, with around 20 locals volunteering their services. All of the hard work has been rewarded with the four-star accreditation. Now open all year round, and with an annexe being opened in January, Findhorn Village Hostel offers excellent accommodation for those exploring the Moray coast. Justina Baltakyte, the hostel’s Marketing Manager, said: “We are extremely pleased to be given this four-star QA award. The team and volunteers have worked very hard so it’s great to receive this recognition and see that our efforts have paid off.” Jo Robinson, Regional Director at VisitScotland, said: “I would like to congratulate everyone at Findhorn Village Hostel on their four- star QA award.
