Motion by Councillor Mumford - Retaining Visitor Information Services on the Royal Mile

Motion by Councillor Mumford – Retaining Visitor Information Services on the Royal Mile

 

“Committee:

 

1.         Notes the announcement in March that Visit Scotland will be closing all information centres by 2026, including the centre currently located at 249 High Street in Edinburgh;

2.         Believes there is a strong case to be made for the retention of an in-person visitor information centre in Edinburgh to welcome people to Scotland’s capital city and provide assistance to visitors less able to book online;

3.         Further recognises that there may be scope to view this news as an opportunity for the city to advance other aspects of our sustainable tourism strategy and council values, for example through extended opening hours to support a safe nighttime economy for residents and visitors, providing facilities for independent tour guides, and promoting the work of the third sector and independent retailers;

4.         Therefore requests officers present an options appraisal for future use of the property at 249 High Street as a visitor centre, including through providing a service ourselves and working collaboratively with partner organisations.”
