In late 2006 the HighlandTourism Partnership agreed a new Highland Tourism Partnership Plan building on the Scottish Executive's national tourism strategy (A Tourism Framework for change). This was superceded in summer 2012 by a new industry led national strategy for Leadership and growth "The future of our industry in our hands" and work is now under way to update the Highland strategy to fit in with the new national strategy.
