As an alternative the Isle of Man Department of Tourism have organised the popular
Homestay Scheme to operate during the period of the Games.
Homestay
The Homestay scheme has successfully operated for a period of over ten years
to accommodate the many additional tourists who come over to the Isle of Man
every June for the TT Motorbike festival.
The scheme provides for tourists to be accommodated in private homes on a bed
and breakfast or self catering basis.
Information and listings of Homestay premises will be available in January 2001
on the NatWest Island Games website.
Prices
At the time of going to press we were unable to quote actual accommodation prices
for 2001 but we expect the ranges per person to be:
5 Crowns | Price Band A | £65- £85 |
3 - 4 Crowns | Price Band B | £50 - £65 |
1 - 2 Crowns | Price Band C | £30 - £45 |
B. & B/Self Catering | Price Band D | £15 - £30 |
Naturally, the price bands we have quoted here are really only an indication to the actual costs which will be levied in 2001. Obviously, as soon as provisional bookings have been made, it will be up to the individual organiser from each Island to discuss final charges and costs with their hotel direct.
However for those traveling to the Isle of Man by air, an overnight stay at Manchester Airport my be required. Below are details of the rates for the Hilton Manchester Airport.
