DED says being different is key to rising visitor numbers
Showcasing what is different about the Isle of Man is key to drawing in more visitors, according to the Head of Tourism.
Latest figures show visitor number rose in 2015 by 3.8% to well over 287,000.
Of the total, almost 130,000 were leisure guests.
The Isle of Man passenger survey revealed tourists spent around £108.8m during the year, including travel and accomodation.
The Department of Economic Development's Angela Byrne says the Island has a lot to offer, but needs to focus more on its unique selling points:
Disruption at Ronaldsway airport following incident with light aircraft
Hopes for better working relationship between government and hospitality sector
'A lot of work to do' on low income housing
Public servants killed in the line of duty eligible for new award
Multi-million pound Villiers development recommended for approval
Rosalind Ranson row draws to a close
