UK tour operator bringing 20 travel agents to Island

Friday, 4 July 2025 08:55

A UK holiday tour operator is planning on sending 20 travel agents to the Isle of Man as it plans what it calls 'Famolidays' here.

Premier Holidays, based in Cambourne in Cambridgeshire, says it's working with Visit Isle of Man to begin selling the three-day breaks.

But first, it wants travel agents to familiarise themselves with the Island - they'll stay in Ramsey and get free public transport and access to Manx National Heritage sites.

The company says agents who've been to the Island will be more confident selling trips to others.
