SITE Scotland

Welcome to Scotland!

A home of ancient history, unique music, language, dance and culture; Scotland is a country highly regarded as an exciting and inspirational incentive destination. Recently voted 'the most beautiful country in the world' by readers of roughguides.com, plus Edinburgh, the capital city, being named 'best city in the world to visit' by Time Out, the country provides a uniquely spectacular backdrop for incentive groups.

Scotland is an incentive experience never to be forgotten, thanks to our natural larder, plus our network of dedicated Scottish incentive travel professionals. SITE Scotland look forward to welcoming you to your next incentive destination!

We are the voice within Scotland for the events and incentive industry.

The SITE Scotland Chapter proudly welcomes local hoteliers, destination management companies, venue professionals, entertainment providers, professional conference organisers and tourism bodies as part of the SITE Scotland community. The Chapter offers education, support and connectivity through events that include networking, education and venue/destination showcases.

Our mission is to develop awareness of Scotland as an outstanding incentive and event destination, as well as continually seeking to inspire, educate and connect our members.

Why Join SITE Scotland?

"I joined SITE Scotland in February 2022 after a challenging two years for our industry. Now more than ever, connecting with peers is crucial and I felt that the SITE platform would offer me a supportive community with industry professionals. As we emerge from the pandemic, I believe we can share experiences and invaluable lessons to emerge stronger than ever. I am really looking forward to building new relationships, networking and having fun!"
