VisitScotland has announced plans to launch an in-person event for tourism operators next year.
VisitScotland Connect will see tour operators, travel agents and destination management companies come together at a travel trade workshop on April 19 and 20 at event venue P&J Live Aberdeen (pictured).
The tourism board hopes VisitScotland Connect will build on its previous events Scotland Reconnect, which was held virtually in 2020, and Discover Scotland held in 2021.
