Rural Tourism Development

The nature and quality of tourism in Lanarkshire has seen significant improvement over recent years.  However, there is still a requirement to improve both the business performance and tourism image/information throughout the area. This Scheme provides hands-on support towards the development and delivery of rural tourism projects, in particular:

  • Improving visitor information, rural visitor signage, product development and branding/themes, such as  local food, walking and cycling.
  • Community events development ensuring rural events become more sustainable
  • Encouraging more joined up working between rural tourism businesses and providers,
  • Supporting tourism business development including identifing funding
  • Enhancing visitor information provision especially in relation to community involvement in providing the information
