Skyetime
The Isle of Skye is one of the jewels in the crown of Scottish Tourism. The Skyetime Podcast aims to celebrate Skye, the amazing array of visitor-facing businesses, the culture, history, geography and people of the island. It will demonstrate why Skye should be on everyone's 'bucket list' and provide ideas to help visitors experience more of what the island has to offer. Skyetime is hosted by Simon Cousins, a broadcaster with over thirty years experience who lives on Skye and works with local organisations to promote the island and individual businesses. Skyetime (the brand) is an initiative of SkyeConnect - the Destination Management Organisation for Skye and neighbouring areas.

In the latest edition of the Skyetime Podcast, Simon Cousins talks to the Chief Executive of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park Authority, Gordon Watson.

He describes some of the tools the park uses to manage the visitor experience and deal with irresponsible or anti-social behaviour, and how some of these practices might be applied on Skye. He also explains the importance of investment in infrastructure and the vital role of the Ranger Service and volunteers in managing the visitor experience.
