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). The Plan comprises two documents: a Strategy and an Action Plan with the Strategy outlining longer term aims for the period to 2015 while a new action plan agreed in 2009 details specific actions to be undertaken in the short term. Copies of these documents are available under "Current documents".
