Homestay scheme launched for 2013

Tuesday, 27 November 2012 00:00

The homestay scheme for next year’s TT and MGP festivals has been officially launched.

Homeowners who’ve previously taken part in the programme have been sent forms to re-register for 2013.

Anyone considering registering for the first time is advised to contact the Department of Economic Development as soon as possible so visitors can book their trip here early.

The registration fee for both events £15 in total with the tourism division inspecting all homestay accommodation to ensure it meets the required standard.

Registration closes on April 26th.
