Ranald Caldwell praises the tourism sector as he steps down as chairman of Visit Isle of Man.
The Isle of Man tourism sector's recovery from Covid has been "better than most other holiday destinations", the departing chairman of the visit agency has said.
Mr Caldwell has been chairman since the non-executive agency model, which saw the formation of a strategy to work closer with businesses, was created.Mr Caldwell said the agency was created to bring a "bottom up" focus to tourism by maximising the economic potential of the visitor economy. He praised the sector for its own perseverance, the government's financial assistance and the Visit team who worked to assist applicants.
A 10-year strategy released in May 2022 set out ambitious targets including 500,000 annual visitors and an annual economic benefit of £520m by 2032.
