Rural Tourism Infrastructure Fund Re-Opens to Applications (Scotland)

The Scottish Government has launched a new funding round to support collaborative projects that improve the visitor experience in rural parts of Scotland that are facing pressures on their infrastructure or have negative impacts on communities due to significant increases in visitor numbers.

The Rural Tourism Infrastructure Fund will award grants of between £75,000 and £375,000 to National Park Authorities and Local Authorities to support infrastructure requirements around (nonpaid for) visitor or natural attractions.

Projects might include parking, scenic laybys, toilet provision or recycling points.

The Fund will be administered by VisitScotland and requires a minimum of 25% match funding.

Expressions of interest must be submitted by 5pm on the 13th August 2021.
