Isle of Man welcomes rising visitor numbers

THE ISLE OF MAN passenger survey has revealed a 6.5 percent increase in tourist visitors to the island in 2015, rising to 134,610. 

Marking the seventh year of continuous growth in tourist visits, the survey found that tourists added approximately £10 million to the island’s economy, with an average of £378 spent per visit.

The figures have been followed by the results of a report commissioned by the #IsleofMan government on the current condition of the hotel industry.

The report, by Hotel Solutions, highlights where the island should invest in its hotel infrastructure to ensure continued tourism growth in a market where expectations towards accommodation provision are constantly rising.

There are direct flights to the Isle of Man from 11 airports in Ireland and the UK, including Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, and London (Gatwick/City) with flights taking from 30 minutes to an hour. The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company provides daily ferry travel from Liverpool to Heysham.
