a representative from Brough Bay Ltd. and the Dunnet Head Educational Trust attended the Orkney Tourism Conference in Kirkwall on 18th November. The conference was sponsored by the Orkney Tourism Group, VisitScotland and Loganair.
It proved once again that Orkney are to the forefront of tourism development, and theirs is a model which could be used in the rest of Scotland. While it is true that there are certain advantages to being an island with geographical limitations, Orkney are building themselves to be a world class destination - something the rest of Scotland can only dream of. They recently won the cruise port of the Year award, while John o Groats won the carbuncle of the year award, and then refused to collect it, thereby missing a marketing opportunity. Any publicity is good publicity!
