Companies are being urged to take advantage of this predicted growth in a new sailing guide published by Tourism Intelligence Scotland (TIS), as part of its Opportunities for Growth series.

Sailing tourism is currently generating just over £100million a year for the Scottish economy, with market share predicted to increase to £145million in the next ten years, and is set to become one of the fastest growing activity markets for Scottish tourism.

The new guide provides key intelligence on the sector, as well as offering advice on how businesses can ensure that sailing visitors - ranging from experienced yachters to those attending a sailing event or festival - have the best experience possible.

The new sailing guide is available from Tourism Intelligence Scotland
