VisitScotland.com while it's still there

News of my demise is greatly exaggerated. Well in the case of VisitScotland.com it is.

The website is relaunching with a new lick of paint this April and the Scotsman duly ran an opinion piece on this announcement last week.

It highlights some major grumbles the hospitality industry north of the border has had with the service to date but generally gives the revisions the benefit of the doubt.

However, it appears something has got lost in translation if a slightly desperate phone call received yesterday from the VisitScotland.com executive office is anything to go by.

Hotelmarketing.com has picked up a feed from the the Scotsman and run a fragment of the story.

However, the headline of the article reads “VisitScotland.com to close shop”, which has resulted in a barrage of calls to the VisitScotland.com team and increasingly desperate attempts by them to contact the owners of the aforementioned website and get it changed.

So do VisitScotland.com, it’s very much still there.
