Scotland and UK Press activity
We work closely with Scottish and UK media to raise awareness of our work to promote the Outer Hebrides to visitors, and how we offer support for the industry. Some of the most recent highlights include:
- A press release (in English and Gaelic) about the launch of a series of new online resources to help tourism businesses in the Outer Hebrides. This encouraged them to consider how they can tackle climate change and meet consumer needs.
- A press release (in English and Gaelic) about a report highlighting how the Outer Hebrides helped contribute to the success of Year of Stories 2022.
- Victoria provided a quote for a press release about a visitor attraction that received its Four Star Quality Assurance and Taste our Best awards.
Hear from Stornoway iCentre
We’ve seen a lot of cruise ships in the harbour over the past few weeks. It’s nothing compared to how it'll be next year when the Deep Water Port opens, and it's been delightful meeting people from all over the world. Often they're on their way to Iceland, Kirkwall or Lerwick.
The HebCelt festival took place directly behind us (but across the water), so it was wonderful to see the town gearing up. Bunting suddenly appeared everywhere, and the shops were full of musical inspired windows. It’s such a joy.
We're expecting a wide range of people into the iCentre over the remainder of the summer, and we look forward to welcoming all our visitors.
Pop in and say hello!
Our team of welcoming and knowledgeable staff are always on hand to help you, and your visitors. Pop in and say hello to our iCentre teams – they'd all love to hear from you.
