TOURIST information centres “have a place” in Scotland, Humza Yousaf has said – despite plans to shut every one of them.
Responding, Yousaf said he “completely” understands VisitScotland’s argument for the closures. The public body has said that people are using online services more and more and a “digital-first” approach to tourist information would be better moving forward.The First Minister told MSPs: “We have obviously regular discussions with Visit Scotland. I fully accept that there will be some level of concern around the announcement.
“But the way in which people seek information, find information on tourist destinations is rapidly and vastly changed. “I would say their digital offer is very good at the moment. I think that probably most of us have used VisitScotland's website at some point or another. I think it's a very good digital offering indeed, but I think it can be enhanced.
VisitScotland have said that all the centres will run as normal until September, when phased closures will begin.
