Shape Dailly's Tourism Future. Free Community Workshop

You are invited to join us in a free workshop bringing community and business interests together to consider community led tourism in Dailly, led by SCOTO (Scottish Community Tourism Network).

Saturday 21st February 2026 10 am - 12pm, followed by a light lunch at Dailly Community Hall.

Let us know what is and isn’t working for Dailly and tourism, tell us what you’d like to see happen, and help plan a way forward for the village.

Press Pause is a facilitated workshop bringing community and business interests together to consider community led tourism.  

It has been developed by SCOTO the Scottish Community Tourism Network and has benefited over 60 communities across Scotland since 2023 with several more in the pipeline.

The focus is on exploring what is and isn’t working in terms of tourism and what could be done better or differently.  

It came from a roadshow where many communities across Scotland expressed concern that tourism simply happens to a community (or doesn’t happen at all and could) and communities wanting to be more involved in decision making and able to derive more benefits from it in ways that matter to the community.

The workshop consider a number of topics starting with current sentiment and then looking at how tourism is changing, competitors and comparators, the current visitor profile and who the community would like to see.  

Two main topics are destination competency which considers how the community sees itself in relation 20 criteria (lived experience) and place branding.  

This looks at how the community is currently presented to the outside world by others and if the community recognises itself, and then we explore how it would like to be portrayed based on what has made the community what it is today and what differentiates it.  

This helps us thinking of possible product development as well as digital content and narrative.SCOTO produce a detailed report setting out the findings and provide various ideas and recommendations with ideas from elsewhere.  

A follow up meeting then takes place to consider these and to help develop an activity plan based on capacity and capability.
