MHK keen to see Island bring in similar system to Guernsey
The Isle of Man is missing an opportunity to support the hospitality sector by allowing more visitors.
That's the view of Douglas East MHK Clare Barber, who believes tourists will boost the economy by spending money in a way local residents won't.
Guernsey, which shares an air bridge with the Island, allows visitors from a number of countries as long as they complete an isolation period.
Mrs Barber thinks a similar system would work here:
