On Wednesday, first minister Nicola Sturgeon announced a multi-million pound support package for business impacted by the surge in cases of Covid-19, which included a £3 million allocation for Scottish tourism companies.
But, SPAA president Joanne Dooey said: "What is the point of supporting Scottish tourism businesses with £3 million of business support if the travel industry, which brings them all here, has been decimated through lack of support?
"What seems to be consistently overlooked is that without outbound travel there is no inbound tourism."
