RUSSIA'S super-rich elite is being targeted as the Scottish national tourism agency's top-value growth market.

Well-heeled Russian tourists are the biggest spenders per person, with the exception of a statistically marginal number of Saudi Arabians (see graph), VisitScotland has appointed a Russian national to head a drive to reach consumers directly, and to open routes to Scotland through the Russian travel industry.

Accompanied by representatives of the Scottish hotels industry, VisitScotland personnel last week attended the Moscow International Travel Trade Show, which attracts about 98,000 visitors.

Along with other growth markets including central and eastern Europe, Russia has been identified as playing a crucial part in reaching the Scottish Executive's target of a 50 per cent increase in tourism income by 2015.

"We are targeting the Russians who can afford anything - money is really no object for them," said Annabel Kohler, VisitScotland's head of marketing for Germany, central and eastern Europe.

She added: "Even if they are not that numerous, they are important opinion leaders, with a lot of influence. They tend to be educated people with an informed interest in Scotland. If we can get them in now, then we are confident that the growing middle class will follow."

In 2004, the last year for which break-down figures are available, 22,000 Russian visitors spent £16m in Scotland, an average of £727 for every man, woman and child.

VisitScotland intends to maximise the already steep growth in Russian visitor numbers by marketing directly to them in the luxury press. The agency has linked up with VisitBritain and VisitLondon to target potential tourists, with glossy inserts in magazines read by the wealthy.

Kohler said: "All of our feedback from hotels like the Balmoral and Gleneagles and the likes of the Royal Scotsman is that we are seeing a huge increase in Russian visitors.

"It has also been noticed that they spend a lot of money on whisky. There are stories of Russian customers simply demanding the most expensive bottle in the shop.

"What they love are the five-star hotels, the golf, shooting and deer-stalking, though they are interested in watching wildlife as well as killing it.""The new class of Russian traveller wants destinations off the beaten track.

"They are great clients because although they demand a lot they will pay a lot. There is no way you can cheat them or not provide something they want. They will say 'no, we want this, please get it'.""Interest in Scotland is growing rapidly and I expect the line on the graph to rise significantly. Our job is to educate the travel trade to make sure they have a product to offer."
