How Edinburgh’s Fringe festival benefits businesses
As Edinburgh’s Fringe festival draws to a close, it looks set to be another record-breaking year. Last year alone there were nearly 3,400 shows put on across 300 venues with 2.5 million visitors. And this year is set to be even bigger. There’s no doubting of the boost to the city’s profile and economy that the festival provides, and more and more payments are being made by card.
