Applications are welcomed for the VisitScotland Growth Fund from tourism groups throughout Scotland.  

The Growth Fund exists to support collaborative marketing projects and as such you must apply as a tourism group, which should consist of at least 3 tourism businesses.  

Both new and existing groups can apply for funding, however all groups must have a constitution and a registered bank account.

Should you require support in becoming a constituted group your advisor will be able to provide assistance in completing this process, this can include providing a template constitution for the group to complete.

What qualifies as a tourism business?

• A tourism business is defined as a business who directly benefits from, and whose activities or services directly encourage, leisure and business visitors to and within Scotland.  
• Groups are encouraged to have businesses from different tourism sectors involved in the marketing project to further develop cross-selling opportunities.
