CrazyDave Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 (edited) Visit Isle of Man on ManninLine today and they just announced the “Guild of Travel writers” AGM to be held here in November with over 100 travel industry writers visiting the island. This is a great achievement and opportunity as I would imagine every British location would like to host this event. Great work by someone. Let the moaning commence.

Great news, let's hope they press the Heritage Rail System into service. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would rather see them focus on Golf, mountain biking, water sports and conference facilities that might attract younger people to bring their family here, or groups of friends rather than the older generation who we seem to always attract. I would steer them far away from old trains and heritage sites but guess we all have different views on such things. Younger people could be return visitors or even relocate and work here. Old people are more likely to become too ill to travel or be dead in a few years, or god forbid might move here and become even more of a drain on the island. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t implied anything relating to Tevir, all I merely pointed out is until there are spades or excavators, and then steel work erected, I will believe it. A huge amount of money is likely to be spent, I’m sure the developers wouldn’t want the Duke Street Flats to be a derelict eyesore. Maybe they will buy the site and rebuild? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IOM not really at its best in November. That is, of course, if they all get onto the rock.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better for them to get here and then not to be able to get off. 13 hour round trip to Heysham or circling Gatwick and coming back at midnight should do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So sounds like a standard press visit, but for 100 people at probably a grand each? In November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
