With one of the UK's most visited tourist spots just a short distance across the water, Visit Isle of Man are looking to see what can be done to divert some of their traffic our way.
The Lake District sees millions of people from around the world descend throughout the summer season.
Natural beauty, scenic walks, water based activities and of course Peter Rabbit form the basis of the attraction that has made the Lakes so popular with tourists.
Head of Visit Isle of Man Deborah Heather says with such a similar offering we must be going after some of that trade:
Repairs on Peel Power Station to get underway
Manx Care doctor survey to be discussed by Tynwald
Weather warning for snow tonight
MHK queries safety at primary school in Ballabeg
Gales put two ferry sailings at risk tonight
Should the Island throw a birthday party for Barry Gibb?
Warning issued over icy roads
High ground could see 4 inches of snow on Saturday night
