Campsites reopening
Hi
I own a campsite & I truly think it is safe & possible to open up safely due to being able to social distance easily.
I think the local authorities should come & pass the site before opening so as to satisfy themselves it is safe & fit for purpose .
My feeling is business needs to be allowed to at least try & reopen as the long term effects of this are catastrophic for the tourism industry in Scotland.
Not sure about mileage from home for customers as I don’t think that would work
I would add that maybe early to mid July is a possible target date for giving this consideration.

Why the contribution is important
To maintain businesses in the tourism industry or we will be gone forever

They would come to our rural areas and set it all off again

Campsite owners are businesses that are important to the economy - and I'm sure responsible owners would put the appropriate measures in place to ensure proper protocols. They would also have to be responsible for controlling behaviour of campers when on-site and evict any that abuse the system and blatantly flout good practice guidelines.
Would like to think also that campsite users would also act responsibility by ensuring right controls are adhered to - for their own safety and other users. However - like very aspect of life - some will not adhere to proper norms and it will require others to call-out and sanction inappropriate behaviour.
Travel to campsites would obviously have implications - but these are no different to what is happening at present when people make other journeys.
Tourists from foreign countries would have more restrictions placed on their travel - at a national level - and therefore campsites would only allow Scottish/UK residents to use their facilities in the near term - until such time as wider national and international travel restrictions are lifted in a controlled way, which is presumably is a much longer term issue.
