We are pleased to share that Dundee as the UK’s only UNESCO City of Design will be included in The UNESCO National Trail of Scotland launching in November 2021!
This new digital trail connecting all 13 UNESCO place-based designations in Scotland is the first national UNESCO trail anywhere in the world that brings together our countries full range of UNESCO place-based designations (World Heritage, Global Geoparks, Biospheres and Creative Cities) whilst promoting sustainable tourism.
The trail is designed to increase the value of visitors to the sites, increase geographic spread amongst visitors to Scottish UNESCO designations, engage and involve local communities and local tourism businesses.
Visit Scotland and Green Tourism are hosting ‘UNESCO National Trail of Scotland Industry Webinar’ on Wednesday 21 July at 2pm and are encouraging business owners and industry professionals to sign up, discuss how you can get involved in the trail and how becoming green accredited with Green Tourism can benefit your business.
