The Agency, as outlined in its ten-year visitor economy strategy, ‘Our Island, Our Future’, has set ambitious headline targets to grow annual visitor numbers to 500,000 and achieve an annual economic contribution of £520m by 2032.
To support these goals, Visit Isle of Man is seeking expressions of interest from individuals with relevant skills and a comparable growth mind-set.
Deborah Heather, CEO of Visit Isle of Man, said: ‘The visitor economy plays a fundamental role in the Isle of Man Government’s vision of creating a secure, vibrant and sustainable future for the Island.
‘Visit Isle of Man’s purpose is to aid with this by promoting and developing the Isle of Man as a must-visit, year-round destination, showcasing its unique and diverse offering, and warm Manx hospitality.
‘Since my appointment in 2023, I have witnessed first-hand the Agency’s efforts to improve the Island’s tourism offerings, attract a diverse range of visitors, achieve a visitor spend of £183.2m, and initiate the development of a new Mountain Bike Trail, along with some exciting accommodation projects in the pipeline. I am optimistic about the continued growth and development of our tourism industry.’
