Launch of Scotland’s Second Marine Tourism Strategy
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the launch of Scotland’s second marine tourism strategy, Giant Strides 2020-2025; recognises that its development has been led by British Marine Scotland in partnership with Royal Yachting Association Scotland, Scottish Canals and Sail Scotland; understands that it builds on the first strategy, Awakening the Giant, but takes a much broader view of marine tourism, its role in coastal and island communities and the significant benefits that it believes that this can deliver for communities, the environment and the economy; believes that the success of this strategy will rest in how it is used; notes the view that businesses, community groups and clubs should use it to help inform their planning and development; understands that businesses and organisations can become a partner to work on one or more of the strategy’s 14 objectives, with the partnership planning process a central aspect of this strategy; thanks the many individuals and organisations who responded to the consultation to help shape this strategy, and hopes it will be a useful tool for boosting the marine tourism sector in the Greenock and Inverclyde constituency and across Scotland.
