Debated at PAG meeting last night
An industry expert is urging government to be wary of mass investment in cruise tourism.
It's amid debate over growing sea visitor numbers, including proposals for a new berth off Douglas harbour capable of receiving thousands of passengers.
Canadian academic Dr Ross Klein has spent more than 300 days aboard cruise liners as part of his research.
Around 90 residents listened to him weigh up the pros and cons of the sector at a Positive Action Group meeting in Douglas last night.
Dr Klein says any decision should be treated from a purely business perspective:
No public board meeting for Manx Care due to General Election
Chauffeur needed to provide 'professional and discreet service' for VIPs
Fire officer praises 'quick-thinking' staff after blaze at fire station
Chief Minister: 'AG not out to silence debate'
