Visitor numbers could stagnate unless action is taken
All involved in the Island's tourism industry must prepare to meet changing demand - if visitor numbers are to grow.
That view from the Island's Self-Catering Association, after the launch of a new four year strategy to promote the Island as a destination.
It's been drawn-up by tourism chiefs and a group of private sector tourism providers, who've been widely consulted.
The document analyses current trends and targets groups of people and types of holidays which could expand the sector.
Self-Catering Association chair Sara Richards is on the steering group.
She says the warning that visitor numbers could stagnate by 2020 unless swift action is taken must be taken seriously:
Bird flu confirmed after wild buzzard found dead near Bride
Call for renewed focus on equality and accessibility in government
Isle of Man Freemasons to lay wreath ahead of Remembrance Day
