The event, held at The Presidents Hotel in London, celebrates destinations and businesses that excel in the group travel sector.

Visit Isle of Wight has confirmed that Managing Director Will Myles has resigned from his role, bringing an end to his seven years leading the Island’s destination marketing organisation.

More than 1,200 Wight BID levy-paying businesses were invited to nominate and vote for candidates to join the board.

26 business leaders from across the Island’s tourism scene — from hotels to top attractions — are in the running for a spot on the new board.
