The Manx holiday brochure, so long a precursor of spring, came close to being abandoned this year.
However the industry representative body, the Manx Hospitality Partnership, has agreed to take on production for a year on a trial basis.
They say that in a survey of advertisers, 85% said the brochure generated 50% of their total bookings, so they could not afford to drop it.
Theo Fleurbaay, Chairman of the MHP says he believes internet use will grow, but, he says, there will remain a place for the printed brochure:
Strike off process against companies with out-of-date information starts
Payroll firm reprimanded after thousands of personal records discovered in abandoned shredding bins
Local food van 'disappointed' not to be visiting Castletown after offering 42 dates
Concern in Northern Ireland over fishing visas
