Tourism

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what (a) joint ventures, (b) discussions and (c) liaison there has been between the Northern Ireland Tourist Board and the Scottish Tourist Board in targeting visitors from the United States of America.
Answer

Many informal links exist but the Northern Ireland Tourist Board (NITB) has no plans to have a formalised structure with VisitScotland. However, officials from the NITB meet on a regular basis throughout the year with a number of other UK tourism officials and this would involve colleagues from VisitScotland.
