An ambitious plan to boost Dundee’s growing tourism sector has been unveiled.

Leading tourism experts in the city, through the Tourism Leadership Group, will oversee the Dundee Tourism Recovery Plan- Covid 19 to ensure the city is ready to progress and strengthen its tourism offer as quickly as possible as Coronavirus restrictions begin to lift.

V&A Dundee will reopen on Thursday 27 August with its first major fashion exhibition, Mary Quant, and an exciting new programme extending throughout the whole museum. 

VisitScotland have been working with Tourism Northern Ireland, VisitEngland and VisitWales to develop a new UK-wide industry standard and consumer mark to provide confidence for visitors, communities and tourism businesses alike – as the sector works towards reopening.

DUNDEE is sending out a “welcome back, stay safe” message as retail and hospitality businesses start the process of rebuilding following the closures imposed to prevent the spread of Coronavirus.

Most non-essential shops will be allowed to open from Monday, while restaurants, pubs and visitor attractions will follow later in the country’s route map out of lockdown.

The Dundee Partnership Cultural Development Group has agreed to develop a new Cultural Recovery Plan for the city.

The Eden Project is to begin work on a feasibility study for a proposed new project in Dundee.
