Orkney Islands Council is inviting residents to join workshops
to help shape the future of tourism across our islands.<br>
<br>
Following the successful launch of the <a
href="http://www.orkney.gov.uk/latest-news/our-orkney-our-story-project-launched-to-gather-tourism-views/"
target="_blank">Our Orkney, Our Story project</a> 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.<br>
<br>
Councillor Kristopher Leask, Chair of the Development and
Infrastructure Committee, said \u201cTourism is vital to Orkney\u2019s
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.<br>
<br>
\u201cWe want to hear your views and ideas so we can develop
practical solutions that benefit both our communities and our
visitors.\u201d<br>
<br>
The workshops will take place at the Pickaquoy Centre from
11:30am-2:30pm on:<u></u><u></u></span></p>

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\u2019s Visitor
Management Plan.<br>

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