Border Railway Opportunity

BORDERS RAILWAY: COLLABORATION, CONNECTIVITY AND CO-OPERATION

In partnership with Scottish Borders Council, Midlothian Council and Scottish Enterprise this exciting event has been organised under the Borders Railway Tourism Development Programme. Following the launch of the Business Opportunities Guide this event focuses on the three key themes of Collaboration, Connectivity and Co-Operation. 
The Borders Railway will have a significant impact on the tourism industry within the Borders and Midlothian economies and our guest speakers will share their experiences and knowledge on the three themes. 

We want to build momentum with the industry and stimulate a joined up approach to delivering memorable quality tourism experiences for visitors to the regions.
