Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what discussions he has had with Edinburgh City Council on the visitor levy.

Asked by:
Blake Stephenson (Conservative)

Tourism is a key industry for Scotland, and I am promoting the country around the world as part of my Brand Scotland work. However, visitor levies are becoming increasingly common around Europe.

Tourism is a devolved area and in this case a matter for Edinburgh Council.
