Competitor for holidaymakers, Torbay, have voted 'Yes' to their tourism BID. Isle of Wight businesses who derive an income from tourism can make their vote count in the WightBID ballot which closes next Tuesday.
The Model Village first opened in 1952 and has been in the same family since 1969. The two acres of beautiful gardens have now been recognised by the Royal Horticultural Society.
Just released, the Wight BID proposal is a plan to attract an additional £60m of tourism spending to the Isle of Wight over the next five years. OnTheWight has the whole document for you.
It's the question on lots of Islander's minds as the holiday season approaches. OnTheWight raised a query with the council at the weekend, here's what they told us.
Now the five month consultation has come to an end, the final proposals are being worked on. OnTheWight has the time-line of what happens next and a personal message from CEO of Visit Isle of Wight.
