The money will fund holiday vouchers, discounts on days out, and new marketing spend for businesses.


First minister Nicola Sturgeon announced the new funding at the Scottish Tourism Alliance conference this week.


It follows talks between the Scottish Tourism Emergency Response Group and businesses, and will support the objectives of the Scottish Tourism Recovery Taskforce.


Sturgeon said she didn’t underestimate the "acute challenges" faced by Scotland’s tourism and hospitality sectors.
