Social Media for the Tourism Industry

North Highland Tourism and Business Gateway are presenting three workshops aimed at the tourism industry.  The workshops will cover social networking, maximising the impact of your online presence and give an overview of the latest techniques in the field.  They will be hosted by Rene Looper  - a real expert in all aspects of social networking and marketing.

The workshops  - which cost £10 for NHT members and £15 for non-members -  will run from 10.30am to 1.30pm and a sandwich lunch will be provided.

Trade Fair Grants

Such has been the success of the Gateway Trade Fair Grant, we have (temporarily, we hope) run out of cash.  Applications "in the pipeline" will be honoured, but we can't process any more until we have secured additional funding.

Since we started the grant earlier in the year,  seven clients have been awarded  a total of nearly £5000 in Sutherland alone to help them market their businesses across the UK, with some considerable success.  Hopefully, we will be able to reinstate a similar scheme later in the year.
