SCOTO is a newly established organisation set up to provide a forum for networking, collaboration and learning, and to represent Community Tourism organisations and enterprises across Scotland. We have a fast-paced programme of work and will soon expand our website to be a visitor facing source of inspiration and a private networking space for our community tourism leaders. We emerged from the HIE funded Communities Leading in Tourism Programme, which was rolled out as a pilot in 2020-21, engaging over 40 community tourism leaders in rural Scotland. Our first six months are funded via a Scottish Government Tourism Leadership Recovery grant.
