Thank you for your request dated 5th May 2009 for information on any
increase in tourism or expenditure since the Homecoming year began, under

information you require will not be available until after the Year of
Homecoming has ended and the evaluation of its impact has been carried
out.

I am sorry we were unable to assist with your enquiry. If you are unhappy
with this response to your request, you may ask us to carry out an
internal review, by writing to Dr Andrew Goudie, Director-General, DG
Economy, Scottish Government, Floor 4N - 08, St Andrews House, Regent
Road, Edinburgh. Your request should explain why you wish a review to be
carried out, and should be made within 40 working days of receipt of this
letter, and we will reply within 20 working days of receipt. If you are
not satisfied with the result of the review, you then have the right to
make a formal complaint to the Scottish Information Commissioner.

Yours sincerely
