Scotland offers exceptional food tourism experiences from food tours and tastings to hands on cookery classes and masterclasses, but it is not easy for customers to find and book them.
Imagine yourself with access to expert advisors helping to boost your business exposure, leads and sales.
Scotland’s Bookable Food and Drink Experiences will enhance Scotland’s reputation as a premier global food tourism destination. This ground-breaking initiative is led by Scotland Food & Drink on behalf of the food tourism leadership group which includes VisitScotland, The Scottish Government, and Scottish Tourism Alliance.
