The SLAED Tourism sub group meets quarterly with rotating venues around the county.  The group is comprised largely of tourism officers although some representatives have a wider economic development, marketing or events remit.

A significant amount of the group’s work is related to the relationship between local authorities and VisitScotland.  This includes work to try and streamline or standardise the form of the service level agreements as well as exchanging information between authorities to assist in developing these agreements.

Other work includes acting as a sounding board or advisory group on local authority tourism issues particularly with other public agencies, assisting in developing national tourism policies where possible and assisting with national tourism work such as event promotion and tourism research.

A representative from the group sits on VisitScotland’s COSLA Chairman’s committee, the Tourism Framework for Change monitoring group and each of the subs groups to ensure local authority interests are represented.
