Councillor Robin Currie, Policy Lead for Strategic Development, said: 鈥淭he events sector makes a significant contribution to P站色情片 and Bute鈥檚 economy and to local communities across the region. It also plays a key role in helping attract both national and international visitors to the area. The importance of events and festivals can be seen from the fact that, prior to the pandemic, the estimated economic impact to the area was around 拢7.5 million.
鈥淭he sector is continuing to rebuild following the pandemic and it鈥檚 great to see so many well-established and highly popular events taking place again in the coming year thanks to support from the fund.鈥
