The British Marine Federation is launching a Marine Tourism Strategy in March at the Scottish Tourism Week National Conference. Over 500 decision makers and key players in the tourism industry will be attending the event.

By 2020, the BMF say they want Scotland to be: “A marine tourism destination of first choice for high quality, value for money and memorable customer experience delivered by skilled and passionate people.”
