Bookable Experiences

AUTHENTIC WAYS TO ENGAGE WITH OUR STORIES

 

Bookable experiences were developed with ten flagship businesses in the South of Scotland to provide content for visitors wishing to immerse themselves in the region’s literary connections.  Working closely with BTS, we spent four months developing ten outstanding experiences which were then marketed to the Travel Trade as "Tales from the South of Scotland".

Covering the whole of the South of Scotland we worked with Wigtown and Borders Book Festival; Abbotsford House and Ellisland Museum & Farm; the Whithorn and Trimontium Trusts; Moat Brae; The Devil’s Porridge Museum; The Great Tapestry of Scotland and Gunsgreen House.

 The literature experiences look brilliant and could work very well for our groups.

"I have noticed a considerable increase in awareness of tourism products in Dumfries and Galloway amongst the people I have been speaking with and I think SSDA has to take a lot of the credit for that.  It was invaluable to work with the SSDA travel trade specialists to design a unique tour - we learned a great deal about how to design, price and promote our Dram and Bannock tourThank you
