Tourism aims to build on momentum

The Island’s tourism industry is targeting a return to the glory days as the DED unveiled a new scheme aimed at keeping visitor numbers on the increase.

This includes greater facilities, attractions and an overall experience at the TT as the number of fans visiting continues to skyrocket each year.

 

Members of the department also highlighted other areas they’re focusing on, including golf package holidays, new hotels, restaurants and entertainment.

 

It’s estimated each visitor spends around six nights here and spends well in excess of £300 a time.

 

Member for Economic Development Geoff Corkish told 3FM more about the direction modern-day tourism in the Isle of Man is headed (see audio).
