Located on the banks of the Clyde, Glasgow is the most populated city in Scotland with approximately 650,300 residents. When including the surrounding urban area, the collective population exceeds 1,650,000. Annually, this number is significantly boosted by the 3.3 million visitors (2024) staying overnight in the Glasgow and Clyde Valley region alone.
Across Scotland, tourism accounts for approximately 92 million visits annually (as of 2024), generating an income of £11.4 billion, which is spent primarily in the retail, leisure, and hospitality sectors. For businesses operating in these sectors, having well-maintained, accessible premises and reliable lifts is essential to encouraging repeat visits.
However, tourism is not the only sector in the West Central region contributing to Scotland’s economy. The region remains a major UK hub for shipbuilding and engineering, and it is also home to a wide range of world-renowned food and drink producers, including the whisky industry.
