*Have Your Say on Tourism at Community Workshops*


Orkney Islands Council is inviting residents to join workshops to help 
shape the future of tourism across our islands.

Following the successful launch of the Our Orkney, Our Story project 
<http://www.orkney.gov.uk/latest-news/our-orkney-our-story-project-launched-to-gather-tourism-views/> in 
August, which gathered community views about tourism pressures and 
opportunities, the Council is now building on that work with a series of 
Community Tourism Conversations.

Councillor Kristopher Leask, Chair of the Development and Infrastructure 
Committee, said “Tourism is vital to Orkney’s economy, but we need to 
ensure it works for everyone who lives here. These workshops are an 
opportunity for residents to have a real say in shaping how we manage 
tourism going forward.

“We want to hear your views and ideas so we can develop practical 
solutions that benefit both our communities and our visitors.”

The workshops will take place at the Pickaquoy Centre from 
11:30am-2:30pm on:____

__·__Wednesday, 5 November____

__·__Thursday, 6 November____

__·__Tuesday, 11 November____


They will bring the community together to hear the summer research 
findings, shape a shared vision for tourism and identify priority 
actions that benefit residents, visitors and the environment - all 
feeding into the Council’s Visitor Management Plan.

A sandwich lunch will be provided at each session, and attendees are 
asked to let organisers know of any dietary requirements when booking.

With only 24 places available at each workshop, early booking is 
essential - secure your space today at http://bit.ly/47f0wC5.

Kind regards,
Christie*
