"Our partnership with Argyll and the Isles Tourism Cooperative has been instrumental in our business planning and development at Melfort Village. The collaboration has enabled us to share best practices, insights, and expertise, significantly enhancing our strategies. Cathy Craig's input has been particularly invaluable, providing fresh perspectives and an in-depth understanding of the local market. Additionally, Wild About Argyll has been a fantastic portal for our guests to research and plan their holidays in Argyll, adding value to their experience."
LINDA BROWN, CEO | MELFORT VILLAGE
“Our self-catering cottages need exposure to Argyll's prospective visitors to drive enquiries and bookings. And, through membership of Argyll & The Isles Tourism Cooperative, we benefit from listings on wildaboutargyll.com and Oban.org; by some margin the two most visited tourism websites for our destination. These listings deliver visibility and click-through enquiry to our website. It's an essential component of our marketing activity and only part of the value AITC membership brings; we also benefit from occasional inclusion in AITC socials, marketing advice and collabs with other local businesses that AITC facilitate...and of course, there's the wider destination promotion undertaken by AITC and its' strong advocacy for member businesses and its influence with stakeholders such as ABC and Scot Gov."
