Homeowners on the Isle of Man are being reminded to sign up for the Homestay Scheme.
The Department for Enterprise is seeking Homestay Hosts to provide additional accommodation for visitors during the TT Races.
The scheme allows those who host visitors to earn up to £1800 tax free.
Angela Byrne, Head of Visit Isle of Man, commented: ‘It’s fantastic news to hear that the TT is returning next year along with new elements that are set to revolutionise the experience for visiting fans and those following from around the world. With 2022 expected to be a very busy and successful year for the Island’s iconic motorsport event, the need for good quality, alternative accommodation during this peak period is going to be vital if we are to continue to attract more visitors to the races.
‘This last year has undoubtedly been one of the most difficult for everyone in the Travel and Tourism sector with ongoing border closures and the cancellation of key island events. However, the return of the TT next year will be extremely welcome news to our sector who benefit greatly from the volume of visitors it helps draw to our Island.’
Registering for the scheme is through MiQuando, which operates the scheme on behalf of the Department.
