Strategy aims for half-a-million visitors per anum
A ten year strategy aimed at attracting 500,000 visitors a year to the Island within the next decade, has been endorsed by Tynwald.
The strategy was brought before the court by Minister for Enterprise, Dr Alex Allinson.
It involves a seven point action programme and commits the Department to providing an annual report on progress going forward.
Department member with responsibility for Visit Isle of Man and Motorsports, Onchan MHK Rob Callister, admits that it's an ambitious programme:
'No change to hand baggage policy' says Steam Packet
Jail for man who tried to gouge a police officer's eyes out
Response to census "exceptionally good" so far, says minister
Rushen MHK calls for progress on 20mph zones in south
Man caught with indecent images of children spared jail
