Tourism title

Tourism is an integral part of life on the Isle of Wight, with over 2.5 million people visiting the Island each year. The opportunities for tourism to sustain and enhance the Island's amazing environment are enormous. At Island 2000 we hope to be able to help the process of developing sustainable tourism.

Sustainable Tourism successes have included helping establish BagTag, the Island's successful baggage transfer system, development of 7 "Rail Rides" cycle routes including the fully signposted Sunshine Trail, numerous walking trails and running Gift to Nature. Mascot
