In 2011, Springboard Scotland introduced a week-long celebration of tourism careers in order to compliment and extend the reach of the annual Scottish Tourism Week. Such was its success, Springboard is now co-ordinating a month-long Tourism Careers Festival to run from 1 - 31st March.

The Careers Festival programme will work in harmony with Scottish Tourism Week and will provide the essential link between the industry and potential recruits, key influencers and the wider community. All activities planned are designed to improve the appeal, widen access and attract new talent into the industry.
