📣 Have your say on the future of the Scottish Tourism Alliance

A huge thank you to everyone who has already completed our industry-wide survey and to the organisations helping to share it with their members and networks.

The survey, delivered in partnership with Genoa Black, is open to all, whether you’re an STA member or not. We’re particularly keen to hear from business owners, CEOs, MDs, senior leaders and employees working for organisations across Scotland’s tourism and hospitality sector and the wider supply chain.

Tell us what the STA should focus on and how well it is currently performing. Every response will help build a stronger, more representative picture of the industry’s needs and shape our future priorities and direction.

The survey is anonymous, takes approximately 6–8 minutes, and closes on 1 November.

👉 Take the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/STA_All_Industry_Survey_2026

Please take part and continue sharing it with colleagues across the industry.
