Jersey Hospitality Association president Senator Lyndon Farnham said that he expects it will be a tough year for the industry but he believes that progress can be made.
He said that the weather would play a hugely important part in determining whether the Island had a successful tourism season or not.
Senator Farnham said that with the trend for later and later booking, weather forecasts were more likely than ever to play a part in the decision making process on whether to take a summer break.
