Events Strategy Plan
12/12/2016 - Events Strategy Plan
(i) to agree the recommendations contained in the report;
(ii) to agree that if the Council and its partners within the City of Aberdeen are to undertake a compelling and sustainable events strategy which supports the Regional Economic Strategy and the City Centre Masterplan, Aberdeen City Council cannot deliver this alone;
(iii) to note the decision taken by Council unanimously in August 2016 regarding additional powers for Local Government and notes that one way to help contribute for a compelling events strategy is for a tourism levy to be introduced and instructs officers to report back with an analysis of the costs and benefits of a tourism levy; and
(iv) to agree that as part of the events strategy Council officers fully explore the feasibility of bringing the Tall Ships back to Aberdeen.
