• The Sustainable Tourism Partnership (STP) was set up by the Scottish Executive (now Scottish Government) in August 2006. Its aim is to build up links with tourism businesses interested in the sustainable development of Scottish tourism. • STP comprises private sector and public sector representatives, including the Scottish Government, VisitScotland, Scottish Tourism Forum, Scottish Natural Heritage, Scottish Enterprise, Highlands and Islands Enterprise and visitor attractions including the Scottish Seabird Centre. STP is chaired by Tom Brock, of the Scottish Seabird Centre. • One of the first issues for action for the group is to identify indicators for sustainable tourism in Scotland. These will be used to measure progress towards the goal of becoming Europe’s most sustainable tourism destination.
