options?<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cScotland has welcomed visitors for over 200 years, and we want to ensure tourism provides sustainable economic growth for generations to come.\u202f Responsible travel is entirely possible and by working with organizations like TTC and their Luxury Gold brand, we can demonstrate how it can be achieved in Scotland.\u202f\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cThe principle of Responsible tourism means slowing down the consumer, allowing them to dwell longer and discover different places away. This in turn delivers more for local communities and allows clients on tours to relax and make those local connections which we know from consumer trends is what they are looking for. This in turn delivers a strong selling tour. Spending a longer time in a destination ultimately leads to less carbon production and benefits the hotels too.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Do you believe luxury and sustainability in travel can go and-in-hand?<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cDefinitely.\u202f High quality immersive experiences benefit local businesses and communities, and many of our 5-star accommodation providers take responsible tourism very seriously \u2013 they are committed to climate action, social inclusion and giving back to their local communities, using an abundance of local food and drink in their offering while delivering on the expectations of luxury clients.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><span

they may have not already known?<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cThat memorable experiences go way beyond the standard bucket list \u2013 by working closely with the Luxury Gold team and our knowledge of Scotland businesses we\u2019re able to suggest experiences that are unique to Scotland and will live long in the memory.\u201d\u202f<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><span

excited about?<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cIt\u2019s a hard choice, as all offer their own unique experience which clients will find memorable, and at times unexpected.\u00a0 The VIP Visit with Lord Bruce of Broomhall House will be a highlight, but my ultimate favorite has to be the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/en-us\/who-we-are\/make-travel-matter\">MAKE TRAVEL MATTER\u00ae<\/a> Highland Tartan Demonstration.\u00a0 I am sure the clients for Luxury Gold will have some serious fun here, whilst learning about one of Scotland\u2019s ancient industries.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><span

Scotland?<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of desire amongst tourism businesses to do the right thing for sustainable growth.\u202f Public sector agencies are working in partnership with the private sector to co-ordinate our strategic plans and activity \u2013 as a country we\u2019re the right size to deliver on this \u2013 small enough to have personal relationships across different sectors, but large enough to make meaningful change.\u202f There\u2019s still a long way to go, but we\u2019re definitely on the right path.\u00a0 We also want to share our learnings with other destinations and together we can make a difference.\u201d<\/span><span
