Island's rivals have better facilities, says hotel consultant
The Isle of Man needs to 'get ahead of the competition' by investing in improved tourist accommodation.
A hotel consultant working with the Department for Enterprise says the Island's rivals, like Jersey and Guernsey, have a greater luxury accommodation offering.
Andrew Keeling of Hotel Solutions believes the government should invest in eco-friendly tourism and capitalise on the Biosphere status.
He told a Tynwald committee the Island is playing catch up:
Steam Packet reports rise in passengers and profit
More than 200 property sales complete in September
Tribunal rejects sexual discrimination claim
Trader frustrated with bank over withdrawal of cash deposit facility
