Scotevents.com receives VisitScotland Challenge Fund boost

Scotevents.com, a unique web based directory of suppliers to events in Scotland, has been successful in receiving challenge funding for a second time.

The Scotevents.com group provides organisers and buyers of business events with direct access to a full range of integrated services with over twenty-five of Scotland’s best known companies being part of the group.

The group has been awarded a further £14,100 from the Challenge Fund. This award will go towards their aim to attract new business tourism businesses from the overseas European market and will include development of their website to reflect the new target market, building their database and production of printed material to use at exhibitions and conferences.

It is anticipated that the new marketing campaign will generate an additional 10,000 visits to the Scotevents.com website with the aim of working with over 30 new events in Scotland.

The next closing date for businesses to apply for VisitScotland’s Challenge Fund is 28th February 2007.
