Jersey ‘should promote its uniqueness’

The former JEP journalist and Arts Centre director said that Jersey should be promoting itself on an international level as a place with a rich history and culture. Along with encouraging young Islanders to take an interest in their history, and the use of Jersey Norman-French, he said ‘cultural tourism’ could be a very real way of enhancing Jersey’s reputation abroad. ‘Perhaps we need to be even more confident about the interest the Island provides,’ he said. ‘It is a very interesting place and our job is to give as much prominence to that as possible. And although it is a very small place it actually had a very big part to play in British history.’
