More about just advertising says MHK
The Isle of Man needs to raise its game if it's to attract more tourists.
That was the message being put out at Manx Hospitality Day, a conference in Douglas today (Thurs 6) which has been organised by the Chamber of Commerce.
Onchan MHK Rob Callister, the DED's member with responsibility for the tourism sector, gave a speech at the conference.
He says it's about more than just how the Isle of Man is advertised:
Dates for rebranded Isle of Man Food and Drink Festival announced
'The Big Manx Feast' will return in September next year
Treasury eyes tougher immigration rules to tackle 'risks' facing system
Higher pay requirements and stricter dependant policies to be reviewed by Council of Ministers
Business confidence cools as costs climb and demand outlook weakens, survey finds
Rising labour and energy expenses dominate concerns, while optimism around future demand and profitability remains muted
MHKs challenge MiCard scrap after constitutent dissatisfaction
Claims of 'pressure selling' and a political 'scramble' emerge
