Visitor Levy Advisory Forum
The Visitor Advisory Levy Forum has been established to discuss and advise on the VL scheme, including the review of the scheme and any modifications to the scheme. The forum will also be consulted on how the VL funds will be spent.
Julie Ashworth was appointed as Chair of the Forum by a recruitment panel comprising senior representatives of the City of 麻豆映画, Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce, Visit Scotland and Edinburgh Association of Community Councils.
The Chair selected 12 Edinburgh individuals to form the forum as members, bringing experience from the third sector to academia, the hotels industry to local communities. It is a requirement that the forum is made up of an equal number of representatives from the community and from businesses in the city’s visitor economy and at least 40% of the representatives must be women. Council officers responsible for the investment streams and officers from the Council’s Programme Management Office will be in attendance at Forum meetings and may make recommendations to the Forum but will not be members of the Forum itself.
