Aberdeen Convention Bureau Says Trump Organisation's Golf Resort Will Bring 'Huge Rewards'

Jacky Selway , Business Tourism Manager of Aberdeen Convention Bureau:

"It is fantastic news for the North-East that the Trump Organisation's golf development is going ahead. The resort will bring huge rewards to the area, including attracting a greater level of business tourism and creating some 6,000 jobs.

"In the increasingly challenging economic climate worldwide, the North-east remains strong which is largely due to the oil and gas sector but we cannot afford to be complacent and depend on this industry. We should be looking at opportunities on new developments and sustainable growth in other business sectors.

"The decision giving the Trump Organisation's golf development the go ahead allows Aberdeen to diversify its focus with an eye to the future. This is exactly the kind of investment the area has been looking for, and I'm certain the resort will be instrumental in attracting more new business to Aberdeen City and Shire in the years to come."
