VisitScotland, Business Tourism Unit

Scotland is on the map as never before. With Edinburgh and Glasgow surpassed only by London in terms of the number of international association conferences hosted in the UK, the radar is firmly trained on this small country that punches above its weight. The contribution that business tourism makes to the Scottish economy was £809 million in 2010 and the industry itself is matching this almost pound for pound in investment in new venues and upgraded facilities.

VisitScotland’s Business Tourism Unit (BTU) is dedicated to marketing the country to ensure that Scotland is top of the list for conferences, meetings and incentives. Just some of the factors that make Scotland the first choice for many planners are state of the art conference centres, a vast selection of unique venues surrounded by dramatic scenery, the mix of traditional and contemporary properties, the dynamic business environment and the generous warmth of Scottish hospitality.

VisitScotland’s BTU is on hand to provide any advice and assistance you may require in planning your conference or incentive in Scotland. We offer a free and impartial enquiry service, catering for both general and specific requests. Once we’ve defined what you need, we’ll fast track your requirements to the right people to implement your plans, whether it’s a regional office or a city convention bureau to deal with your preferred destination.

We provide useful information, including our multi-lingual website conventionscotland.com, e-newsletters, dedicated brochures, online venue search facility, online image library and much more.
