Part of the national Scottish Tourism Month Programme and proudly sponsored by North Ayrshire Council, this is not just Sail Scotland members, everyone related to the industry is welcome to come together, learn, and network with others.

The event is for everyone with an interest in the marine tourism sector; whether it’s the delivery, skills, supply chain, marketing or development.

This year, the event will be focusing on:

• the strategic importance of marine tourism and sustainable and responsible consumer behaviour
• the importance of continued investment in marketing, infrastructure, and product development
• opportunities and things to think about now
• how everyone can collaborate to grow marine tourism further

The programme is still being finalised but it will include input from:

• Fiona Hyslop MSP – Minister for Transport
• Gavin McDonagh – Chairman of Sail Scotland and MD of Holt Leisure Group
• Rob Dickson – Director of Industry and Destination Development, VisitScotland
• Joshua Ryan-Saha – Director of Traveltech for Scotland Daniel Steel – CEO, Sail Scotland
