  LEADING Scottish hotelier Gerry Smith, group managing director of Macdonald Hotels, has accused Scotland's tourist authority VisitScotland and the Scottish Executive of failing to provide adequate support for the industry.
  
  'The tourist board should start with Holyrood, by getting it to recognise the value of tourism to Scotland,' said Smith, whose Bathgate-based company ranks as the eighth-largest hotel group in the UK.
  
  'They need to promote the industry far more pro-actively by encouraging investment,' said Smith, who co-founded Macdonald Hotels with chief executive Donald Macdonald in 1990.
  ...
  Smith, whose company has invested heavily in setting up a new finance and call centre at Bathgate, criticised the system of financial support (regional selective assistance) which discriminates against indigenous employers.
  
  'They are willing to give money to multinationals to come here -- but how long do they stay?In Bathgate we've created 150 jobs and we got no assistance of any form,' he said.
  
  The tourism industry is a major source of employment in Scotland, providing work for some 193,000 people.Smith said the Executive should look at other nations which have a successful tourist industry .
  
  'Spain has a minister for tourism.We need tourism to be given a similarly high priority in Scotland,' Smith said.
  
  Macdonald Hotels, which was founded in 1990 with just two hotels, has grown rapidly and now owns or operates over 100 hotels and resorts in the UK and Spain, controlling a business with annual sales in excess of £240 million.
  
  The company is currently looking at creating a timeshare operation in the Lake District, where it already runs three hotels.Smith said there are also good opportunities for further expansion of the company's timeshare business in Spain.
