Malcolm Roughead: A force for good – Tourism industry has the capacity to lead the recovery from Covid-19
Photo Credit: The Press & Journal
Tourism is worth more than £12 billion to the economy of Scotland, supports 15,000 businesses and 230,000 jobs. For every £50,000 spent by visitors in Scotland, a new job is created in Scotland and tourism currently accounts for 8.5% of jobs.
To go with story by Erikka Askeland. VisitScotland launch Tourism is a Force for Good Campaign Picture shows; Malcolm Roughead, Chief Executive of VisitScotland. unknown. Supplied by VisitScotland Date; 31/08/2016
I quote these figures because as we start to come out of lockdown, it's a timely reminder of how important tourism is to the economy of Scotland. Yes, it's about holidays and making people happy, but it's also much more than that – the industry has the capacity to lead the recovery.
So we are reminding everyone how important tourism is, and we need your help in telling your stories via social media about how your community has benefited from tourism investment.
A year of job losses and lots of businesses have been forced to close
We know we won't just push a button and tourism will recover – we've had a year of very little investment, job losses and lots of businesses have been forced to close – it will take years and significant investment for the industry to recover. We need international and domestic visitors to return to regain some of the ground lost.
But there is also no doubt that tourism is a force for good – creating economic and social benefits in every corner of Scotland. As well as its huge economic benefits, it helps to tackle issues around everything from depopulation to health and education as its ripple effect is the lifeblood of so many places.
Tourism helps to tackle issues around everything from depopulation to health and education."
It encourages entrepreneurial start-ups and community spirit – and to evidence this we have worked with the tourism industry to show what a force for good tourism really is.
We have developed some case studies on VisitScotland.org which showcase the importance of tourism through a health, economic and sustainability lens. We would like to add to these, so if you have a good story to tell, let us know.
Take a look, for example, at the Isle of Raasay Distillery in the Inner Hebrides. A £13.5 million investment to build a distillery and luxury accommodation which has attracted a whole new group of visitors to the island and has brought 20 sustainable jobs to a place with only 161 inhabitants.
Many of those employed would have had to leave the island to find employment, but now they have that on their doorstep and it is hoped this will boost the island's population with new families, which will in turn support the school, the community store and other commercial ventures on the island.
Visitors are a major part of boosting the economy there and in 2019 there were 1,500 bed nights spent in its six luxury bedrooms in the revived Borodale House, and the island was voted Best Tourism Destination of the Year at the Scottish Whisky Awards.
Major investment can bring such incredible benefits
What an amazing example of how a major investment in one place can bring such incredible benefits – and it's not just whisky – its tourism.
Or take a small town like Innerleithen in the Scottish Borders which has seen its high street revived as a result of mountain biking. The town has benefited hugely from the rise in cycling tourism, but the community and local businesses have worked hand in hand to ensure that this is done in a sustainable way.
A £19 million investment in the development of a new mountain bike innovation centre will further boost the fortunes of the town and the project is predicted to contribute £141 million to the economy and create some 400 jobs in the South of Scotland.
These are just two of the case studies we are showcasing in our Tourism a Force for Good programme. We will be providing local and national information to help you tell that story to your contacts – so let's share our stories and remind everyone how important this industry is.

Bombardier Marks Major Milestone with Delivery of 75th Learjet 75 Aircraft to Aurora Jet Partners

Aurora Jet to add Bombardier Learjet to its existing fractional jet fleet of light, mid-size, and large business jets
Company expects to introduce more Learjet 75 aircraft by year end
Bombardier Business Aircraft and Aurora Jet Partners of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada joined forces today to mark a major milestone in business aviation – the delivery of the 75th Bombardier Learjet 75 business jet. The milestone was reached slightly more than two years after the first Learjet 75 aircraft, the fastest light business jet on the market*, entered service in November 2013.
Tonya Sudduth, General Manager, Learjet Programs and Wichita Site, Bombardier Business Aircraft, presented the milestone aircraft to Bill McGoey, President, Aurora Jet Partners, in an event held at the Bombardier Learjet facility in Wichita, where the aircraft was assembled.
"The 75th delivery of a Learjet 75 aircraft represents yet another high point in the proud history of our iconic Learjet brand," said Sudduth. "We are very pleased that our friends at Aurora Jet Partners are celebrating this milestone with us as new members of the Learjet family," she added.
"The Learjet 75 aircraft is valued worldwide for its innovative technology, superior cabin design and legendary performance," said David Coleal, President, Bombardier Business Aircraft. "We look forward to working alongside Aurora Jet Partners as they take their business to the next level."
Established in 2007 as a separate division of Morningstar, their Canada-wide express cargo business, Aurora Jet Partners is a fast-growing business aviation company that provides its customers with a full suite of private travel services throughout Canada. Their services include fractional ownership, charter and fleet management and sales from bases in Vancouver, Edmonton, and Toronto. While the new aircraft represents Bombardier's 75th Learjet 75 aircraft delivery, it is the first Learjet aircraft to enter service with Aurora Jet Partners and an initial step in the company's plan to renew their older light and mid-size fractional jet fleet as a standard offering. Aurora's fractional and managed fleet also includes Bombardier's super-midsize Challenger 300 aircraft, the wide-body Challenger 604 and Challenger 605 aircraft, and the long-range Global 5000 aircraft.
"Aurora Jet Partners is one of the most innovative and progressive private aviation companies in Canada that specializes in providing custom tailored, high-quality private travel solutions to a growing list of discerning clients. We intend to grow the managed and fractional ownership side of our business by adding a modern fleet of Learjet 75 aircraft, which offer tremendous value and utility to our customers and are in a legendary class of their own. We hope to have additional Learjet 75 aircraft in service by year end if 2016 goes as planned," said McGoey. "We are thrilled to be part of this important delivery milestone and congratulate Bombardier on this stellar achievement.
About the Learjet 75 Aircraft
The Learjet 75 jet features the pioneering Bombardier Vision flight deck with an interior designed for style and comfort. It is the only business jet in its class to feature an eight-seat double-club configuration with a flat floor throughout the cabin and plenty of legroom. The Learjet 75 aircraft is also available in a six-seat executive configuration, offering enhanced comfort and productivity features. Its powerful engines and new winglet design enables it to cruise at a speed of Mach 0.81* and climb to an operating ceiling of 51,000 ft. (15,545 m)*. The Learjet 75 can also achieve an exceptional range greater than 2,000 NM (3,704 km)*. Its modern interior features a new cabin management system with individual touchscreen monitors and full audio and video control; LED lighting throughout the entire aircraft; a generous baggage suite and a spacious galley to optimize catering. The Learjet 75 aircraft can fly four passengers and two crew members non-stop from Los Angeles to Toronto*.

Self-proclaimed "Blockchain Island," Malta has released three notable bills related to blockchain back in June, and has attracted multiple businesses in the industry to set up offices in the country.
As the declaration cites, blockchain can be a true "game changer" when it comes to transforming both public and private sectors. Through increasing the efficiency and transparency of government services, blockchain solutions can enhance and improve various services for citizens, from education and healthcare to customs and transportation.
