Paul Bush OBE, Chief Operating Officer at EventScotland, said: “Food tourism is a booming industry in Scotland. We have some of the finest and freshest produce in the world and the nation is famous for its welcoming hospitality. The East Renfrewshire Food Festival is a celebration of both those assets and gives people from around the UK an incentive to visit the area.
