This document contains an annual update on the Sustainable Tourism Action Plan (STAP) 2022-27 for the Cairngorms National Park. The report highlights the progress made in delivering the plan, which aims to contribute to the wider tourism industry and Scotland's national tourism strategy. Key areas of focus include short-term let licensing, the transient visitor levy, tourism funding, and changes to quality assurance schemes. The Cairngorms National Park continues to monitor tourism trends through visitor surveys and business barometers, and is planning further research to gather regular information from visitors and residents. The next annual update on STAP delivery is scheduled for March 2025, with a mid-term review planned for late 2025 or early 2026.
