Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo to tour overseas



Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo’s organizers are trying to arrange the tour of the festival every two year to improve its global profile and introduce new international acts to Edinburgh. The extensive visits of the world famous event are being arranged for the first time to both the Persian Gulf and China within the next five years.


The overseas visits currently planned for 2018 and 2020 respectively will take place after forthcoming visits to both New Zealand and Australia. The Tattoo’s chief executive and Edinburgh’s Lord Provost have already negotiated with the senior overseas authorities over the proposed overseas trips.

 
It is expected that cultural, heritage and trade links between Edinburgh and the cities where the event is staged will improve as well as awareness of the Tattoo in some of Scotland’s key foreign markets will be raised. The Tattoo has been attended by more than 14 million people since it first took place at Edinburgh Castle esplanade.
