Debated at PAG meeting last night
An industry expert is urging government to be wary of mass investment in cruise tourism.
It's amid debate over growing sea visitor numbers, including proposals for a new berth off Douglas harbour capable of receiving thousands of passengers.
Canadian academic Dr Ross Klein has spent more than 300 days aboard cruise liners as part of his research.
Around 90 residents listened to him weigh up the pros and cons of the sector at a Positive Action Group meeting in Douglas last night.
Dr Klein says any decision should be treated from a purely business perspective:
Roadshow turnout shows public has 'lots of concern'
Bishop's vote and assisted dying on Keys agenda
Public sector housing thresholds need changing, says MHK
Improving women's health services a 'joint effort'
Trade is good, but it's still a struggle to make a profit, says local business
