- Motion reference: S4M-05670
- Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Wednesday, 06 March 2013
That the Parliament congratulates the work done by the #Scotlandhour team as an example of individuals and business people collaborating to promote tourism in Scotland; recognises the team's use of social media, such as Twitter, to give potential tourists an opportunity to gain positive information to help make their visit to Scotland a fulfilling one; understands that this is the first time that Twitter has been used in this way to promote a destination, with an upcoming hour being devoted to walks, trails and climbs, including the West Highland Way and woodland walks of Chatelherault Country Park in Hamilton, and hopes that this event on the last Wednesday of every month will be of ongoing benefit to the tourism industry in Scotland in the future.
