The economy is slowing down and Brexit hasn't even come yet. I think 2019 is going to be a peak year and be lucky if it flatlines from here.
I hope I am wrong!
Thats a very pessimistic and sceptical outlook. A week pound and new future trading relationships to be sought makes the potential for international visitors and growth higher. The UK May have had one quarter of slow down but that is not the same everywhere. Good things happen if you take a more positive and broader approach. I am not saying that growth at the airport won’t be affected but there is still opportunities as Edinburgh (and Scotland) has a strong international brand and appeal to sell.
