MORE tourists could be attracted to Guernsey if Jersey-style caravanning and motorcaravan laws were introduced, according to director of marketing and tourism Chris Elliott.
Mr Elliott (pictured) said the Jersey laws, which were introduced several years ago, had been quite successful.
‘They wanted to ensure there wasn’t semi-permanent communities of caravans in Jersey and they weren’t blocking up the island’s roads,’ he said. ‘They have tried it and it’s worked.’
He said the Jersey style of caravan legislation was now being discussed by the Commerce and Employment and the Environment departments.

How long until somebody sets up home in a caravan on Guernsey and wins his case to stay after the Court of Human Rights or some similar do-gooders humiliate the States?
