Report by John Lavabre
SCOTTISH Tourist Board chief executive Tom Buncle has
resigned.
The STB is currently being rebranded and restructured under
the name of visitscotland and Buncle had been in line to join the new
organisation as managing director.
STB chairman Lord Gordon of Strathblane said: “I fully
understand Buncle’s decision. His continuation with the STB would have provided
valuable continuity at a time of great change.
“I am grateful for all he has done for the STB and Scottish
tourism over the years, and I wish him every success for the future in whatever
he now chooses to do.”
Lord Gordon added he is seeking a replacement and plans to
release further details later this week.
