A representative from the Scottish Government is to open ScotHot 2015, organisers confirmed last week.

Fergus Ewing MSP, Minister for Business, Energy and Tourism (pictured, centre), will officially launch Scotland’s premier event for the food, drink, hospitality and tourism industry when it begins in March.

‘The last 12 months proved hugely successful for Scottish tourism and the forthcoming Year of Food & Drink is a chance to build on the success of this year,’ he said. ‘We will celebrate Scotland’s natural larder and quality produce with Scots and visitors alike, and ScotHot provides the perfect platform to do this.’

Event Director, Soraya Gadelrab, added: ‘ScotHot is the definitive event for the food, drink, hospitality and tourism industries, and we’re delighted that Mr Ewing is going to launch it as part of Scottish Tourism Week’s Signature Programme.

‘This is recognition of the value these industries have to the Scottish economy, and ScotHot’s part in working to raise levels of best practice.’

Organised as part of Scottish Tourism Week’s Signature Programme, ScotHot takes place at the SECC Glasgow from 4-5th March 2015.
