Field Sports Welcome

The Scottish CSTG and VisitScotland are delighted to launch the new Field Sports Welcome scheme.  The scheme gives recognition to those accommodation providers that offer a warm welcome to field sports enthusiasts and cater more closely for their needs whilst staying.

Field sports tourism is an increasingly popular activity within Scotland, generating more than £350 million overall for Scottish tourism. The Field Sports Welcome scheme gives guidance to the industry on the facilities and services that can enhance the holiday experience for guests interested in this type of activity.

As a group, field sports enthusiasts often represent a higher spend per head per trip than do other visitor profiles and the Scottish CSTG and Visit Scotland wish to offer guidance through this scheme on how  you can better attract this market by way of some additional facilities and services offered to them.

 A good knowledge of what country sports are offered and/or are available in your area is a good starting point and can help welcoming conversations develop which undoubtedly add to the guest’s experience.

Further details on the scheme are available from the Quality & Standards department of VisitScotland, email: qadevelopment@visitscotland.com
