  • 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.

  • 1 Rural Economy and Connectivity Committee
    RURAL ECONOMY AND CONNECTIVITY COMMITTEE SALMON FARMING IN SCOTLAND SUBMISSION FROM SEA CHANGE WESTER ROSS Sea Change Wester Ross emerged as a community group set up to protect Wester Ross Marine Protected Area and give the public a voice for improved management of the marine environment. We speak for those in the community who care about the potential for recovery of the ecosystem, coastal economy and fisheries which are all interconnected. Since dredgers were banned, Sea Change has evolved into a think tank making our own conclusions on scientific and Government papers. These are often different from the prevalent Industry view, and sometimes also the authors. The context for our concern is that the greatest challenge our species is facing is to find solutions to rapid population expansion and an equally rapid loss of biodiversity combined with over fishing, global warming and ocean acidification. The Government’s intention to double salmon farms by 2030 ignores the limits of the ecosystem and the cumulative impacts it can absorb. Coastal economics in particular cannot be separated from the marine environment and many reports we have read focus exclusively on benefits to one industry and assume limitless capacity. Those of us in the think tank have an alternative coastal economy in mind - one built on an understanding of the interconnections within the ecosystem and true sustainability. This alternative economy would work with nature to build on the positive benefits restoration affords. Alistair Sinclair of the Scottish Creel Fishermen’s Federation (the creel and dive fisheries) has spoken of a vision for an alternative coastal economy built upon support for low impact fisheries.
