Travel industry crisis sees Fife firm’s revenue fall from £1m to just £9,000
Founder of Best of Scotland Holidays, Duncan Dewar
A Fife travel firm that had sales of £1 million in 2019 says it will be lucky to make £20,000 this year.
Kirkcady-based Best of Scotland Holidays specialises in tailored luxury tours, predominantly for American visitors.
Duncan Dewar has built the business over the last 38 years to have an extensive customer base and five staff.
From a seven-figure turnover two years ago, last year the tour operator had income of just £9,000.
Duncan has seen many ups and downs in the travel industry over the years but says he’s never seen anything like the coronavirus pandemic.
