Tourism & festivals
Arts and culture festivals – not least Edinburgh’s world-famous festivals - attract millions of tourists to major tourist destinations each year, but we can use information on activity and events to improve our visitors’ experiences and help businesses adapt to challenges.
TravelTech for Scotland
Traveltech for Scotland, a new organisation to help Scotland’s tourism sector make a sustained recovery, launched in summer 2020. Driven by technological innovation, it will build a support network for travel technology pioneers whose ingenuity could help turn the sector around following the devastating impacts of Covid-19.
Our Tourism & Festivals Hub
Edinburgh Futures Institute
The EFI will be a global centre for multi-disciplinary, challenge-based DDI research, teaching and societal impact. The biggest challenges that the world faces are complex and interconnected. Solving them requires multiple orientations and understandings. EFI’s approach brings the arts, humanities and the social sciences into contiguity with data science, natural sciences and with medicine – to co-create deeply interdisciplinary models.
