2 zoom meetings, 2 conflicting opinions...
The first about caring for our outdoor spaces and mention of how “Experience Tourism” is impacting the environment...
The second on Tourism in SW Scotland and what “Experiences” we can offer to attract people...
(1/4)

They can work together but the second was focused more on “monetizing the product” ....

This is a danger where our primary focus is the money and protecting our landscapes is a secondary aim...

What I’ve seen over this year is people coming here with a tick box mentality and leaving with a completely different outlook...

When given the space and a gentle nudge in the direction of slowing down people come to appreciate Galloway and our world in a whole new way

Giving people what they think they want is not necessarily the answer

We can guide them in a new direction and give them what they really need

A chance to slow down and connect with the world in a whole new way....

That is the “Experience” the world so desperately needs
