Due to its biodiverse landscape the Isle of Man has been given UNESCO biosphere status. This, therefore, is “foraging heaven” according to chefs that visit the Isle.

As the dark winter evenings begin to melt away and on the horizon is the promise of longer, sunnier days we turn our attention to Spring, a perfect time to visit the Isle of Man, with its lush greenery, nodding daffodils and abundance of wildlife. 

The accreditation has been launched by Visit Isle of Man in conjunction with tourism and hospitality quality assessment provider; Quality In Tourism (QiT). QiT has been assessing hospitality and tourism properties to set and improve industry standards across the UK for over 15 years, with Visit Isle of Man having worked with the assessor for over 13 years.
