Minister criticised by East Douglas member
A sharp decline in Island visitor numbers should act as a wake-up call to tourism chiefs, an MHK is claiming.
Chris Robertshaw says an 8.9 per cent drop during 2017 is both ‘sad and disappointing’ and needs to be addressed as a priority.
The East Douglas member – a die-hard critic of the user agreement - believes the Steam Packet Company can’t serve tourism under its current ownership structure.
And he has also criticised the Enterprise Minister Laurence Skelly.
