One of the largest yacht races in the world is the headline event during this year’s annual Isle of Wight Festival of the Sea (16-23 June 2014), a seven-day celebration of the Isle of Wight’s vibrant maritime culture.
To celebrate English Tourism Week (last week), the Island’s Conservative MP, Andrew Turner joined Tom Ransom of Visit Isle of Wight (VIOW) on a new “Taste” Round the Island cycle route.
Newly appointed to Visit Isle of Wight, Tom Ransom, who was employed through the Isle of Wight Council’s successful Local Sustainable Transport Fund (LSTF) bid, is busy wheeling out a set of exiting tourism opportunities around holidays by bike.
The Island's holiday parks have set up a marketing group and are now working with the DMO to see what can be done collectively to improve the situation after they failed to see a rise in bookings last year.
