That gives less than 30 days per year of the three year contract to work on something as big a topic as this. Ironic thing is how much free time has been given by the industry over many many years attending meetings, seminars, forums with VS, GTS, Scot Ent, Event Scotland etc to discuss this very topic. Another gravy train for those who have the power to spend money on subjects they have not a clue about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4379719379610817315.post-51807778540033976512009-09-02T12:23:15.927+01:002009-09-02T12:23:15.927+01:00Trying to help the 2nd teir get more visitors.

This is what will give Scotland a bad name and may I suggest is part of the reason why Ireland is suffering so badly with lack of visitors since their own ryder cup.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4379719379610817315.post-6412168170170850872009-09-02T12:06:45.848+01:002009-09-02T12:06:45.848+01:00A three year contract to help the 2nd level of cou...A three year contract to help the 2nd level of courses attract more visitors. Sorry but to give them 3 years to do this is a waste of time. These courses, in fact all courses need immediate help. Its about attracting visitors next year. At £40,000 over three years ?? Thats not even a decent salery for a very junior employee of a company like BTS. Much of this money will be spent conducting telephone interviews with people within the golf industry. Perhaps the industry should conduct this type of work rather than employ 3rd parties.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
