Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it has an indicative date for (a) certain types of and (b) all self-catering accommodation to trade again.
Answer
The route map shows how and when we will carefully seek to lift current restrictions beyond phase 1. Future phases are based on meeting particular criteria, including those set by the World Health Organisation. The Scottish Government is proposing a provisional timeframe of the week of 15 July for the opening of the tourism sector. In line with Phase 3 of the Route-map, this will be conditional on the scientific and public health evidence supporting the move at the time and compliance with sector and public health guidance. The indicative date will include all accommodation providers.
