Tourism Framework for Change Implementation Groups

The tourism industry has accepted that the TFFC’s growth ambition cannot be delivered alone by either the government or the public sector. Only industry itself can meet the challenge. But the Government and wider public sector do have a significant role to play in setting the right landscape, helping to remove barriers and providing support. Hence close collaboration is necessary. The TFFC strategy itself was developed in a spirit of close collaboration between public and private sector and this has continued.

A series of implementation groups were established in 2007 to oversee progress in delivery of the TFFC. Each group is industry-led, chaired by a “champion” from within the Scottish tourism industry who is charged with driving forward progress on the relevant issues and reporting to an overall Monitoring Group which is again industry-chaired. Each group consists of membership from across the industry and public sector, representing those with a key role in the relevant issues. The following table sets out the implementation groups and the Chairs.
