Set in The Ice Factor, the perfect venue for this event, we will look closely at real life case studies, the unique services they offer and will also ask the question, "what does the client want from a provider"?

David Adams McGilp of VisitScotland will look at the outdoor recreation tourism market in Argyll and the West Highlands and will focus on existing and potential markets in outdoor recreation.

He will tell us why he diversified, the process he went through and will enlighten us as to why it has to be fun for everyone! Dorothy Breckenridge of C-N-Do Scotland provides an all-inclusive service for clients who wish to take a guided walking holiday. She will talk about her experience of what her clients want from providers, and why your facilities must stand out amongst the crowd to maintain a full house throughout the season.
