Low deposit holiday scheme launched

First such scheme for Island

Isle of Man travel specialists Visit IOM have launched a £1 low deposit scheme for package holidays to the Isle of Man.

The promotion which runs until 31st December is designed to stimulate early bookings to the Isle of Man for 2018, encouraging tourism to the island with an affordable deposit arrangement. 

Families and couples with a stretched budget on the run up to Christmas can book and secure their 2018 holiday to the Isle of Man with a £1 deposit per person and pay the remaining balance as little as 4 weeks prior to their departure. 

Darrel Tinnion, Visit IOM’s Business Development Manager, says the deposit is "the first of its kind for the Isle of Man, making holidays to the island more affordable for visitors who can spread the cost of their holiday over a longer period of time".

The low deposit arrangement is designed to attract more of the island’s target market, namely families, active couples and over 50s and is available for inbound travellers when booking a flight or ferry with accommodation as part of their holiday package.
