Visitor numbers show promise, say experts

With more flights from more places, it is hoped that more tourists will visit Jersey this summer, and Economic Development Minister Alan Maclean said the early signs were encouraging.

‘It is early days but it appears that there is an upturn on the way on the back of the UK coming out of recession,’ he said,

The president of the Jersey Hospitality Association, Ian Barnes, said there seemed to be greater optimism about this summer than has been the case for some time.
