Is Scotland Ready for a Tourist Boom?

BBC Radio Scotland - The Stephen Jardine Programme, Is Scotland Ready for a Tourist Boom?

Is Scotland ready for a tourist boom and the music that helps you get to sleep.

As Scottish tourism figures surge Stephen asks if we're ready to take even more? On National Sleep Day the music guaranteed to send you into a slumber.

2017 was a great year of Scotland's top visitor attractions, who saw bigger increases in visitor numbers than elsewhere in the UK. While some Edinburgh attractions did particularly well, increasing numbers of visitors were also welcomed to sites outside the central belt. Stephen asks - Are we prepared for a boom in tourists?
