Join Visit Arran

Why Join Visit Arran?

Tourism is the most important industry on Arran.  In 2007 Arran tourism was worth over £27million and directly employed 30% of the working population.

VisitArran's role is to coordinate a combined effort, integrating all the different parts of the visitor experience and to add value to individual efforts.

VisitArran works to ensure that the value of tourism will continue to increase. Any reduction in Arran's tourist trade directly impacts the local economy and therefore the Arran community.

 VisitArran energies are focused on;

• Giving support and encouragemt to both public and private partners to effect improvements in destination quality and infrastructure.
• Continuing to promote Arran as a short break destination to increase both volume and value of tourism in the shoulder months.
• Providing businesses with high quality market research and tourist trend information
• Attracting and promoting Arran signature events
• Providing training and support services 
• Securing significant funding from outside bodies, sponsors and other partners to add value to VisitArran projects

VisitArran consists of over 60 participating businesses, many of whom not only contribute an annual participation fee, but also donate their time and expertise to the benefit of the wider island community.

The work already undertaken has been supported by a mix of private and public sector funding, the actual work being carried out on a voluntary basis with part-time paid support staff.
