Four weeks ago, we launched Scotland’s first-ever Business Events Monitor, a national survey designed to measure the size and value of our business events sector. If you host business events or provide services to the industry, your input is needed! A huge thank you to everyone who has already participated. If you haven’t yet completed the survey, we encourage you to take part. The survey will run until 4 April 2025 – https://lnkd.in/dkh_z7DJ #EventProfs #JourneyToChange #BusinessEvents #Scotland

In a historic milestone, both the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, will take place in the UK in 2027. The men’s Tour de France will begin in Edinburgh. As a world-class destination for tourism and events, Scotland’s breathtaking landscapes, iconic venues, and rich history make it the perfect stage for the world’s most famous bike race. #PerfectStage
A Tour de First! In a historic milestone, the world’s biggest bike races, the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, will both take place in the UK in 2027, marking the first time both the men’s and women’s Grand Départs will take place in the same country - outside France. Securing the backing of the ASO to return the Tour de France to the UK is the result of an ambitious and collaborative effort that has seen us work together with key partners, including British Cycling, Department for Culture, Media and Sport, the Scottish Government and Llywodraeth Cymru / Welsh Government, and event stakeholders in a strategic win that will drive lasting benefits for the sport and everyone who rides a bike – with a transformational social impact programme to inspire cyclists, tackle health inequalities and promote sustainability. Simon Morton, Director of Events, UK Sport said: “We set out to host the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes because we believe that live sport is a fundamental part of our country’s social fabric, and that we should be hosting events that are accessible to people and communities across the country. This will be the biggest free spectator event ever hosted in the UK, offering the public front-row access to world class sport across villages, towns and cities.” The Story 🗞️ https://bit.ly/41GAdSr
