Biosphere-friendly activities on offer for visitors
The first of almost 60 cruise ships booked to visit the Island this year will arrive in Douglas this morning (26 March).
Hurtigruten Expeditions' 'Spitsbergen' will have around 180 passengers on board.
Cruise passengers are offered almost 30 different itineraries when they arrive on Manx shores - eight of which include biosphere-friendly activities like beach cleaning.
Ranald Caldwell, from Visit Isle of Man, says the sector is pushing to lower its impact on the environment:
More than 3,000 jobs added to economy since September 2021
Review of income thresholds for public sector housing
Firearms officers deployed to incident near Laxey
A step into the modern era for social security
Attempted burglary in Ramsey sparks appeal
Two Manx high schools told to stop operating CCTV 'inside' toilets
