THE SCOTTISH Tourism Alliance (STA), the acknowledged overarching trade body and voice for Scotland’s tourism and hospitality industry has today published an open letter with a call for Scotland’s new First Minister to halt the Scottish Government’s proposed ban on alcohol advertising and promotion.
27 organisations, representing all sectors across the industry have backed a joint letter warning of grave implications for Scotland’s economy, should the blanket ban on alcohol advertising and sponsorship go ahead.
Writing to the SNP leadership candidates following the resignation of First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, the trade group highlights that the proposed legislation will “leave some of Scotland’s premium industries crippled in global markets at a time of monumental pressure and compromise our country’s appeal and attractiveness as a global tourist destination.”
