THE Scottish Tourist Board is being rebranded under the name
visitscotland and is to appoint a new chief executive as part of its
restructuring plan.
The announcement follows a meeting today between the STB and
the MSP responsible for tourism, Wendy Alexander.
STB’s current chief executive Tom Buncle is expected to
become managing director of the new organisation.
STB chairman Lord Gordon of Strathblane said the
organisation has to restructure to allow for changes in the tourist business
environment.
