We are thrilled to reveal that VisitScotland<\/strong> is returning as a sponsor of the MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With responsible tourism firmly at the heart of all its activity, the national tourism organisation has reaffirmed its commitment to protecting and preserving Scotland\u2019s renowned culture, by recognising the distinct role that the trad music plays in Scotland\u2019s heritage, identity and culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In its efforts to inspire visitors to these shores, VisitScotland showcases Scotland\u2019s unique experiences and the many aspects that make the country so special, this includes cultural offerings such as music and Gaelic which can often add an extra layer of authenticity to a visitors\u2019 enjoyment of our country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VisitScotland\u2019s involvement in the awards is particularly fitting as 2022 marks Scotland\u2019s Year of Stories, a celebrations of the wealth of stories inspired by, written, or created in Scotland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A key part of the year has been to share how traditional music, Gaelic and Scotland\u2019s other languages are woven into the fabric of the country and have influenced the way we speak and tell stories now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VisitScotland believes that finding ways to position Scotland as a unique and stand-out holiday choice is vital. The trad music scene, as well as Scotland\u2019s languages, do just that and by having the Scottish tourism industry embrace and showcase them, it helps promote and preserve an important part of Scotland\u2019s culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob Dickson, VisitScotland Director of Industry and Destination Development, said: \u201cVisitScotland is excited to continue its sponsorship of the Event of the Year category at the 2022 MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards. This year has brought new challenges to the events and tourism industry, but we\u2019ve had plenty to celebrate with the full return of live shows across the country and the 20th anniversary of these awards. Our outstanding trad music scene offers visitors an extra layer of authenticity during their stay in Scotland \u2013 something we know is important to them – and remains a thriving, exhilarating experience embraced by Scots of all ages.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
