Local firm MiQuando, who operate the official Isle of Man Homestay Scheme on behalf of the Department for Enterprise, is welcoming applications from Island residents looking to register their properties for the 2023 TT races and beyond.
The Homestay Scheme provides an opportunity for households to host paying visitors for the duration of the TT festival. Throughout the two weeks, ‘Homestay Hosts’ can earn up to £2,350 tax free income and will have access to the Department’s Public Liability insurance.
Nigel Jones, Managing Director for MiQuando Limited, commented: ‘Fans of the Isle of Man TT are already searching for and booking accommodation for the 2023 races and MiQuando are receiving daily enquiries from visitors looking to secure their accommodation.
‘We strongly urge those considering it for next year to register as soon as possible to allow time for the registration process and to secure bookings early.’
Any household looking to offer Homestay during the period must be registered. Registration is quick and easy, with fees of £60.00 for a new one-year registration or £80.00 for two years. The fee, set by MiQuando and to be paid upon registration, includes an inspection visit (for new registrations), plus marketing on the official Homestay website www.iomhomestay.com and social media pages.
