1 Delivering for Dundee & Angus How we re working to grow the visitor economy 1

2 Introduction Dundee & Angus generates 80 million in visitor spend and supports 9,400 jobs tourism is more than a holiday experience; it creates jobs and sustains communities all year round. Scotland is an inclusive and welcoming tourism destination that punches above its weight on the world stage and we need to leverage this reputation to bring new investment, new events, new airlines and new visitors. Tourism is more than a holiday experience; it creates jobs and sustains communities all year round. The number of people working in tourism in Dundee & Angus rose by 16% between 2014 and Dundee & Angus has a huge part to play; with the power of the V&A Museum of Design Dundee, the waterfront development, a new air route to Amsterdam, a strong business tourism proposition and the Declaration of Arbroath being awarded Memory of the World UNESCO status. This status is just one of many connections that will spotlight the region in celebration of the 2017 Year of History, Heritage and Archaeology. It s vital that we harness these opportunities and work together to deliver for Dundee & Angus. Jim Clarkson, Regional Partnerships Director, VisitScotland 1

6 Marketing for Dundee & Angus GLOBAL CAMPAIGNS VisitScotland launched its first ever global campaign the Spirit of Scotland in February 2016, with one message and jaw-dropping visuals running through all activity. Dundee & Angus has featured across the campaign in film, print and digital advertising, direct mail packs and more across the UK, US, Germany and France. This campaign invites everyone to get involved and share their #ScotSpirit in order to help generate more visits and grow the visitor economy. There have been more than 400,000 shares of #ScotSpirit and more than 65 million views of the online campaign films. REGIONAL CAMPAIGNS Angus Council teamed up with VisitScotland to deliver regional spring 2016 activity with various touch points including digital and press promotion. As a result, we generated the opportunity for over 2 million people to see our messaging, a further 11,000 web visits, over 5,000 competition entries and over 800 business referrals. From penguin selfies to browsing an impressive Scottish art collection, Dundee features as one of seven cities filmed in a visually stunning snapshot of the area, also as part of our Spirit of Scotland activity. Targeting thousands of visitors across the globe, the films have generated over 34,000 views. OOR WULLIE 2016 #BUCKETRAIL Tying in with both, our global campaign and the 2016 Year of Innovation, Architecture and Design, VisitScotland commissioned a ScotSpirit Wullie as part of the Oor Wullie 2016 #bucketrail. Launched in late June, 70 giant Oor Wullie sculptures were displayed across Dundee while 15 touring Oor Wullies, which included our very own ScotSpirit Wullie, spent 10 weeks visiting cities across Scotland. More than 70,000 locals and visitors are estimated to have taken part during the summer, either by picking up a bucket trail map or by downloading the bucket trail app. The trail is also said to have been a contributing factor to a boost in footfall at Dundee VisitScotland icentre with an 5

7 increase of 15% and retail sales up by 13.5% during the duration of the bucket trail (27 June - 11 September) compared with the same period the previous year. icentre figures for July 2016 were up significantly by 34% compared with the previous year. SOCIAL MEDIA AND CONTENT VisitScotland provides inspiration and information to hundreds of thousands of potential customers across our social media platforms; Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube. in July 2016, has been developed to connect our visitors with the industry and experts among us. Designed to provide insider information about holidaying in Scotland, we have seen an encouraging response, with over half a million page views in its first four months. The launch of our #ScotSpirit campaign has encouraged visitors and locals alike to upload inspirational images of Scotland and Dundee & Angus which in turn are being shared far and wide.
