This project aims to carry out a comprehensive research programme from May to October 2021, focusing on understanding the attitudes and behaviours of Scotland's residents towards domestic tourism, particularly in the context of recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, with a tender submission deadline that expired on 1st April 2021. The contract has been awarded to 56 Degree Insight with a total contract value of £50,000, and the work will be delivered across various locations in Scotland.
