TOURISM businesses in Scotland's first national park are hoping the launch of a new website can help inspire visitors to return to the area following lockdown.

Love Loch Lomond, the official destination organisation for the Loch Lomond, Trossachs and Clyde Sea Lochs area has launched a new online platform alongside their new brand.

As a co-operative of local businesses, including the Knockderry House Hotel in Cove and The Lodge on Loch Lomond, the group is passionate about sharing the very best of the beautiful region and brings together a wealth of local knowledge and experience to offer signposting and information for tourists.

Andy Roger, chair of Love Loch Lomond and resort director of Cameron House Hotel, said: “It is fantastic to be launching the new Love Loch Lomond website.

"As tourism in the area slowly starts to get going again we hope this platform will be of great benefit to our members and visitors in highlighting the breadth of activities, attractions, restaurants, bars and overnight accommodation providers in Loch Lomond and the surrounding area.

"We believe it will help spread the positive message about these businesses re-opening and help us attract as many visitors as we can at such a challenging time for the industry.”
