Government has contracted Regency Travel to take over the running of the Homestay Scheme.
It means the tourism division of the Department of Economic Development will no longer manage it.
From now available accommodation will be listed on Regency's iomttbreaks.com website instead of Visit Isle of Man.
Recent figures show an increasing demand for Homestay with 17 per cent of last year’s 40,000 visitors relying on it.
Head of tourism Angela Byrne told us why the decision was taken to contract the scheme out:
House plans for former motor museum site
No DEFA info on halal slaughtering
Port St Mary roadworks start next month
American company plans three-wheeled Island tour
Dominos advertises for staff to work in new Ramsey store
Cost of new patient transfer buses queried
What consideration's being given to getting rid of tax discs?
Can people on benefits still get support if they're treated privately?
