An initiative has been announced recently which will implement a ‘tourism triangle’ including Newquay, Scilly and Guernsey.
The initiative, jointly announced by Skybus Chief Executive Jeff Marston and General Manager of Tresco’s award winning ‘Island Hotel’ Jame Le Friec (a native of Guernsey), is set to include trips to the Abbey Gardens.
Skybus operated popular trips to the tax free Island of Guernsey over the Christmas period and Tourism officials in the Channel Islands are equally as positive about this new excursion. The Isles of Scilly share many floral traditions with Guernsey, the most obvious in the fact that Mike Nelhams (curator of Tresco Abbey Gardens) is one of the directors of ‘Floral Guernsey’.
The service will run from June 22nd to July 27th with additions and further trips proposed for the future. The flights will be twice weekly during this period, operating on a Saturday and a Monday allowing for two, five or seven day breaks.
