Will compete for title of 'most desirable Island in Europe'
The Isle of Man will line-up against some of Europe's celebrated holiday hotspots after being nominated for a Wanderlust Magazine travel award.
It’s been shortlisted for the ‘most desirable island in Europe’ accolade.
Now in its 23rd year the Reader Travel Awards celebrate the best in travel and shine a spotlight on the most desirable destinations, tour operators and travel brands.
It's the first time the Island has found itself nominated for such an award and it’s up against the likes of Majorca, Minorca, Crete, Corsica, Malta and Madeira.
Visit Isle of Man says: "The Isle of Man's nomination in such a prestigious travel magazine as Wanderlust is a testament to the hard work and dedication of all those involved in the Island’s visitor community and the warm hospitality of our local community.
"Whether you’ve visited once or a hundred times we know the Island has made a lasting impression and we encourage all fans of the Isle of Man to cast their votes and support this exciting recognition.
"We also ask our wonderful local community and industry partners to share the voting link with their friends, family, customers and anyone else that’s visited the Isle of Man."
The winners will be announced at the Tate Modern in London later this year.
Voting closes on the 18 October – you can cast your vote HERE.
