Angus & Dundee Network Event (Free)
Wednesday 24th October 2007 2-4pm, Angus Archives, Restenneth Priory, Forfar
As more and more people become interested in researching their family roots, ancestral tourism promises new and exciting year-round commercial opportunities whatever your size and type of business. This fascinating afternoon at Angus Archives will give you all the information you need to capitalise on this growing market.
It is estimated that over 50million people across the globe are able to lay claim to Scottish ancestry and therefore the potential of this market is huge. Research has also identified that ancestral tourists tend to stay longer and spend more than other tourists, travel off peak and therefore support Scotland as a year round destination. Combine this with an estimated market value of £150m and you get an idea of the potential of this sector.
Includes a guided tour of Angus Archives plus presentations on:
• Angus Registrars
• Angus Burials
• Tay Valley Family History Society
• The Angus & Dundee Roots Festival 2008
