An iconic Scottish tourist attraction is looking at ways to generate more income as it emerged it is making a loss of £600,000 a year.
THE home of Falkirk’s iconic Kelpies is looking at ways to generate more income as it emerged it is making a loss of £600,000 a year despite being one of Scotland’s most popular tourist attractions.
An estimated 600,000 visitors to the Helix in 2021, spent in the region of £84m supporting local businesses and jobs. The park will be expected to reduce the subsidy it currently receives from Falkirk Council by around £180,000 in order to help cut the massive £65m budget gap currently facing the local authority.
They also want to increase the number of events that are held by other organisations that will provide a good income without any risk to the council. This year the Helix had ‘bungee jumps’ and a zipline as well as a visiting Luminarium that visitors paid to enjoy. This includes plans to encourage visitors to follow a new ‘Heart of Falkirk’ trail, linking the Helix with other key attractions, including the Falkirk Wheel, Callendar House and the district’s two new distilleries.councillor James Bundy said that his group was concerned at the amount of subsidy needed and called for a business plan that would allow the site to at least break even.
