Information on new legislation introduced on Island is being offered to local tourism businesses this month.

The first phase of the Equality Act 2017 came into force on January 1, and Visit Isle of Man will host an information session on what it will mean for organisations and what they have to do to meet legal requirements.

The event is also designed to give tourism providers the chance to ask any questions about the Act.

It will take place on Wednesday, January 30 at 6pm at the iMuseum in Douglas.
