World Heritage status call for vintage transport
It’s not just the Island’s population that’s ageing – our tourists are too, and we need to attract younger visitors.
That’s just one of the messages in a new tourism strategy unveiled this week to guide the industry through the next five years.
The Destination Management Plan says the Island needs things like a holiday family centre, a TT attraction, and World Heritage status for our vintage transport system.
Robin Bischert, the Department of Economic Development’s director for the visitor economy, says we also need a rethink of who we’re marketing the Island to:
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
IoM 'must use voice on international stage'
Rosalind Ranson row draws to a close
