Mij Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 The views of Peel residents are being sought over a proposal to build a new hotel and apartment complex. Source : http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/rss/-/1/hi/world/...man/7197886.stm Interesting - it is a bit of an anti climax down there, but what sort of hotel and for whom? I'm also not clear what the objectives are. The article says about increasing visitor spending, but is there any evidence that there is a demand by people to stay in Peel? Just building a hotel will not necessarily mean more visitors if they don't see Peel as a place worth staying for one night, one week whatever. Does anyone have any background knowledge on the proposal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyboarder Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 It seems to me that hotels will soon be springing up in all the backwaters of the island where few tourists dare to tread. Is this the latest ruse to get permission for more and more (and more) apartments? All these hotels seem to have them in the plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryMcCann Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I think the words 'and apartment complex' are important here I dare say that once the thing is built the hotel rooms will be easily convertable to self contained apartments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Static Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I think the words 'and apartment complex' are important here I dare say that once the thing is built the hotel rooms will be easily convertable to self contained apartments And then sold off, a bit like the Cherry Orchard in Port Erin....
