Moghrey Mie Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 New communications manager at the Department of Tourism and Leisure She's the communications manager not the chief executive. Her first pronouncement on the radio was to say that they need to optimise their website for search engines- hardly rocket science. But maybe DTL didn't know that already. If not somebody should get the boot. I think you'll find they've identified the need to do work on communications and hried a Communications Manager accordingly. As you say - not rocket science. Good on 'em. Post already existed and has been empty for a few years. Budget 2007/8 Tourism Directorate Management £170,000 New Product Development £341,000 Quality and service £691,000 Commmunications £1,840,000 What did we get for all that money?

Twitch Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 What's the betting the second announcement will be: "We need a S.W.A.T. and a P.E.S.T. - stat!" I'd be very worried if anyone in marketing announced that. It's S.W.O.T and P.E.S.T actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But well done...for spotting it, you win a free 5 forces analysis for your employer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt W E Johns Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Passenger Survey 2008 just released Paid visitors in paid accommodation 23% down on 2007, 1% better than Foot & Mouth year (2001)PVPA.ppt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pragmatopian Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 1% better than Foot & Mouth year. Surely that can be spun in a way that makes the DTL look good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I think the DLT should incorporate the culture part into the dept.name. Dept.TLC. It would certainally make them, if not the island, more approachable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

%age Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I think the Isle of Man Government should just stick two fingers up to the lot of us and make a new Department called the Ministry of Funny Walks and Incompetence. Keep some thing the same such as make sure everyone is paid hugely and gets lots of tea to drink all day and stuff like that (dinners out, freebies and jollies away etc). Then we would be really put on the Map, nay, the Globe even, and everybody in the whole World will hear about us and come over to visit the place they call Isle of Man where incompetence abounds and lots of people are very happy happy because they get paids fucken shed loads for doing fuck all and even that they don't do too well.
