The surge in whisky tourism across Scotland, with over 140 malt and grain distilleries capitalising on the trend, is reshaping the whisky market and local communities. As distilleries invest in enhancing the whisky experience, from tours to purpose-built centres, the number of visitors to Scotch whisky centers exceeded two million in 2022. While this is fantastic for whisky tourism, it raises crucial questions about the broader impact on the whisky market and local communities. How can distilleries and those involved in whisky investment strike the right balance, supporting local communities and managing the overwhelming interest to ensure a positive impact? In my latest blog, I delve into these questions, exploring strategies to harmonise growth and community well-being - https://bit.ly/486VR3W #Whisky #SupportScotch #WhiskyInvestment #CaskInvestment #Whisky1901 #Forbes #ForbesFinance

🌊 Breaking the Waves of 'Sea Blindness' in World Governments 🌊 The maritime sector is a cornerstone of the global economy, yet it often remains under the radar for policymakers and the public alike. This phenomenon, known as 'sea blindness,' poses significant barriers to harnessing the full potential of our oceans and coastal regions. Let's explore why governments may overlook the maritime sector and how we can shift this narrative. 🚢 Barriers to Government Engagement: 1. Lack of Awareness: Maritime issues don't always make headlines, leading to a gap in public and political awareness. 2. Competing Priorities: Governments face numerous urgent issues, and maritime matters may not seem as immediate. 3. Complexity: The maritime sector is multifaceted, encompassing shipping, fisheries, energy, and environmental concerns, which can be daunting to address comprehensively. 4. Short-Term Focus: Policymaking often priorities short-term gains, whereas maritime investments may yield long-term benefits. 🌍 Extending 'Sea Blindness': 'Sea blindness' isn't just a public phenomenon; it extends to policymakers who might not recognise the strategic importance of maritime issues. This can result in insufficient funding, policy support, and innovation in the sector. 🔄 Turning the Tide: 1. Education and Advocacy: We need to educate both the public and policymakers about the maritime sector's critical role in trade, security, and environmental sustainability. 2. Integrated Policy Approaches: Governments should adopt holistic policies that consider the interconnectedness of maritime activities with other economic and environmental factors. 3. Highlighting Success Stories: Showcasing successful maritime projects and their positive impacts can help illustrate the sector's value. 4. Engaging Stakeholders: Collaborating with industry experts, academia, and international bodies can provide valuable insights and drive comprehensive maritime strategies. Do you want to learn more, why not join us at the Isle of Man Maritime conference on the 19th July at the Comis Hotel. Tickets can be purchased below. Tickets - https://lnkd.in/dZCtEMsq By addressing 'sea blindness,' we can unlock new opportunities for economic growth, environmental stewardship, and global security. It's time to bring maritime issues to the forefront of the political agenda and ensure our oceans and Seafarers receive the attention they deserve. #MaritimeSector #SeaBlindness #PublicPolicy #OceanEconomy #SustainableDevelopment #BlueEconomy #GovernmentPolicy #MaritimeAwareness 🌊🚢🌍

Visit The Channel Islands? Just one strategy consideration mentioned in the new Jersey Visitor Economy Strategy. Is it time for us to file away the historic rivalry and start working together to build a ‘bigger pie’ and all benefit? There are endless global examples of the success of this approach: The Virgin Island, The Cayman Islands, The Bahamas etc. Just imagine the appeal and global pull that visiting The Channel Islands and the surrounding Normandy area could have… maybe the ultimate global destination for War History enthusiasts? A globally leading destination for culinary tourism? Celebrating what is authentically ours, celebrating our unique geographic location, our history, our heritage etc. Maybe even changing the way we travel between the Islands and France? Look at The Faroe Islands for example… What do you think? #visitoreconomy #hospitalityindustry #ourfuture #timeforchange
