Visit Isle of Wight and the Isle of Wight Council are inviting local tourism businesses to a series of seminars to help the local economy recover.
Following the UK Government announcement on Tuesday regarding the reopening of trade, Visit Isle of Wight and the Isle of Wight Council are preparing a series of free online information sessions for tourism businesses to join.
These sessions aim to work through some of the guidelines that have been published so far and help businesses understand how, as one Island working together, businesses can make a difference to tourism in this current climate.
Visit Isle of Wight urges all tourism-related businesses to take part – these sessions could be vital in helping the local economy.
There will be an opportunity to hear from the Isle of Wight Council on a number of specific subjects, and information on how the Island will be marketed.
If there are any industry related questions that you would like Visit Isle of Wight and Isle of Wight Council to consider, email [email protected] in good time before choosing a session.
Numbers are limited to just 50 tickets, at 1 per business – although in the event of oversubscription, Visit Isle of Wight and the Isle of Wight Council will run more courses.

All seminars will be of course making the most money out of people before the 2nd peak and not include any invitations to local residents.
Never mind the poor souls who have died or will die.
Its the economy over peoples lives!
The economy will no doubt recover in time but humans some won’t !
Do shut up – these seminars will show businesses best practice in the new socially distanced world.
You can’t just hide away for ever, believe it or not people’s livelihoods depend on reopening their businesses.
