Visit Isle of Man has announced the rollover of Homestay registrations following the cancellation of this year's TT.
The Homestay Scheme provides an opportunity for households to provide much needed bed stock to host the volume of visitors arriving to the Island.
The following approach, agreed by MiQuando and the Visit Isle of Man Agency, has been made to ensure the Homestay Scheme is protected for future events and continues to provide much needed bed stock that is essential for visitors:
• To roll forward all existing Homestay registrations for an additional 12 month period (from the date at which the provider’s current registration would expire);
• To encourage hosts to work with visitors to try and roll bookings over to future events; and
• To remove the physical inspection fee for those providers that have not received an inspection within the past three years.
All currently registered hosts will be contacted by email (or post where no email address is held) with full details of the above. Any registered hosts that do not receive this correspondence can contact the MiQuando Homestay team (please check junk/spam folders first).
Homestay hosts wishing to rollover their registration should inform MiQuando as soon as possible by contacting hosts@iomhomestay.com.
