Another new place.
Scotland ALREADY IS the playground for the very rich. There are SEVERAL new, incredible places and several more, in planning. Amazing, World Class places.
With a potential audience of hundreds of millions, it's time for Scotland to chuck £millions at Tourism infrastructure and Training.
Tourism is our future, we need to forget about making Ships and having here-today-gone-tomorrow, crap 'Contact Centres'.
Tourism, Scotch Whisky Tourism. Time to make EVERY Tourist put 'Scotland' on their 'bucket-list' and want to come here, for our unrivalled increasingly sophisticated (and expensive) offer. Nobody stops going to nice places, because they are expensive. Have you looked at Norway? The Italian Riviera? Monaco? Dublin?
Don't listen to the Right Wing, 'self preservation society', Tourism Cabal, moaning. We need to do it NOW and not moan and 'have meetings'. I've been at these 'meetings' and they 'move on', when anything that might touch a nerve or involve change is spoken about!
We can't exploit local staff as easily now and we have to Train and Pay people properly. Scotland needs to wake up to this.
It's actually what we SHOULD be speaking about, not attending Garden Parties, at Holyrood Palace, thinking it's great.
Less Hats, more Houses for staff.

4moIn NYC this weekend and had Bar Boulud at top of list to experience. Our party of 4, with one in a wheelchair, was turned away for drinks outside (you do have "bar" in your name) because they were now serving dinner. It was barely 5, we were post-opera, and meeting longtime friends. We could sit at the bar, we were told. I reiterated we had one with mobility limits who could not do that, could we please use the table outside. No. Money is money and ours went somewhere else and my vision of Boulud hospitality is forever tarnished. Welcoming and accommodating you are not.
