Long-term business viability and making the numbers work

Delivered in partnership with the Scottish Government, the Islands Community Tourism Learning and Networking Programme is about supporting island communities to develop sustainable, community-led tourism.

This session's theme is about developing viable and ethical community tourism enterprises that balance commercial resilience with community purpose, fair work and the long-term stewardship of local assets.

This session will cover:

  • Presenting examples of different community led tourism enterprises in action

  • Outlining the core principles and governance implications behind different enterprise and ownership models and associated finance opportunities

  • Understanding the principles behind long-term business viability and the respective roles of staff, boards and volunteers

  • Exploring ways for private businesses and community enterprises to collaborate to strengthen the local tourism ecosystem

The National Islands Plan highlights that islands are central to our identity as a nation and a core part of Scotland's international image.
