A medieval Scottish castle surrounded by green landscape.

This free virtual panel discussion, organised by Historic Environment Scotland with the support of Visit Scotland, will see national and international heritage tourism colleagues come together during COP26 in Glasgow, to identify the sector’s challenges and opportunities in driving the responsible tourism agenda in alignment with Scottish Government net zero targets and the national tourism strategy, Scotland Outlook 2030.

The event will feature examples of best-practice in responsible tourism and topics to be discussed will be:

  • carbon reduction and circular economy in tourism
  • partnership working and community participation
  • added value through sustainable management practices, equity, and accessibility
  • green skills and career pathways

A Q&A session will provide an opportunity to interact with the panel.
