Good evening. all from us. A | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Fewer people are coming to Jersey on holiday despite recent multh`million | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
pound advertising campaigns. 6, 00 fewer tourists visited the Hsland | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
last year than in 2012. It's the second year in a row that Jdrsey has | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
seen a drop in visitors frol the UK ` their main market. Now totrism | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
bosses are setting their sights further afield. | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
When the sea is glistening and the sun is shining in Jdrsey, | :00:30. | :00:37. | |
you may ask, why would you holiday anywhere else? | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
Too much expense. Perhaps lower the flights of price. Elsewhere in | :00:44. | :00:51. | |
Europe is so cheap. Although these loyal tourists choose | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
Jersey year after year ` Last year there were just | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
over 680,000 visitors. That's 6,500 fewer than | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
the year before. The lowest number recorded | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
since 2010. The decline in visitors to Jersey | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
has been noticed by Paolo Crolla. He?s worked in the restaurant | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
of this hotel for the last three years after he | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
had to close his own restaurant due I think they could step up ` little | :01:13. | :01:27. | |
more. Something has been discussed for a long time. It is a sh`me to | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
say, but they are trying to do something about it now. | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
Only half of the beds on the island were filled last year. | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
And with a dip in UK visitors ` Jersey's biggest market ` for the | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
second year in a row, tourism bosses are looking at investing more and | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
The main tour operator who brings our Danish business in is planning | :01:46. | :02:02. | |
to words cruise operation bx which they bring people in by air and then | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
return on a cruise. With moves to new potential markets and e`rly | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
signs of a better season thhs year, the tourism industry is feeling | :02:12. | :02:12. | |
optimistic. A Jersey bank has hired expdrts to | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
find out how details from 20,000 customers were leaked | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
to journalists. Kleinwort Benson is investigating | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
after the Guardian newspaper said it has information on many celdbrities | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
and a UK government minister linked The information was provided to | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
the Guardian by the US`based International Consortium | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
of Investigative Journalists, Beachgoers | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
in Guernsey are being warned There's an official warning about | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
blue jellyfish after some w`shed up at Portelet with other sightings | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
at Perelle, Cobo and in Alddrney. The blue jellyfish has tendrils that | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
are about a metre long Guernsey's Treasury Minister has | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
given his strongest hint yet that a Goods and Services tax cotld be | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
introduced. Gavin St Pier revealed last week | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
the States went ?25 million over budget last year and said GST may | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
be a way to pay for it. It was back in 2008 that Jersey | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
brought in GST on almost all items and services | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
that were bought and sold. Since then it's raised around ? 47 | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
million for the States' coffers So the benefit to | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
the government is obvious. But what about everyone elsd? | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
Clare Burton reports. Jose Co`op on a summer's morning. | :03:28. | :03:45. | |
Customers are used to paying 5% more for their groceries. The colpany is | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
used to topping up their bills. But at first, it had a big impact. It | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
was a process, really. It took six months' worth planning to gdt the IT | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
system straight and organisd changing shells labels. It cost is | :04:01. | :04:08. | |
between 50000 and 100,000 to introduce it. Many customers who | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
shop online have to pay GST when their parcels arrive, too. Jersey | :04:15. | :04:27. | |
Post has had to process thel all. It requires additional processors. Will | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
probably employ two more people to process the packages. When customers | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
get used to the GST, they c`n pre`clear their packages. Often we | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
have to send them a note to say the package has arrived. What Jdrsey | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
Post and the Co`op have in common is that they are big businesses with | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
resources to deal with a big change. For smaller businesses, tax | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
changes can be complicated `nd costly. This tax expert says that | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
Guernsey businesses, big and small, should get ready for a whold lot of | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
admin. They need to look at it from a pricing side and also the | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
administration side because they will have to complete quartdrly GST | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
returns to pay over the net balance of the government. There is a burden | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
pricing and on administration. And busy, this take them away from doing | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
what they do best, running their business. `` and obviously this | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
takes them away. And it can affect the bottom line. People spend less. | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
If you give them less to spdnd, they will spend less. There are lots of | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
families on stretched budgets and GST will eat into disposabld income | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
and people will have to budget. Balancing the state' budget is at | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
the forefront of the Treasury's mind. A `` announcement on the | :05:53. | :06:03. | |
budget is near at hand. We were suddenly being keephng an | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
eye on that. That's the news. Here is the weather. | :06:10. | :06:18. | |
Good evening. I have a couple of questions about when it is going to | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
rain. I can't see a lot of wet weather. There may be a few showers | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
on Saturday night it is Sunday. And not of cloud tomorrow, no r`in but | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
it is dry. This loss of clotd out here might produce a few showers. It | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
is a long way away and it is a weak feature. Maybe just a coupld of | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
overnight showers on Saturd`y and Sunday. For tonight, the cloud will | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
come and go. Thickening clotd arriving towards dawn. Quitd a warm | :06:51. | :06:58. | |
start to the day tomorrow. Puite quickly, those temperatures will get | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
back up to 19 or 20 degrees. Quite a lot of cloud, breaking nicely in the | :07:04. | :07:12. | |
afternoon. More cloud overnhght and into Saturday. Saturday will see | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
quite a bit of cloud around. That cloud sick enough to see a few spots | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
of rain. `` that cloud sick enough. This is the UK forecast. | :07:27. | :07:36. | |
Good evening. We had stark contrasts in our weather today for most of us | :07:37. | :07:47. | |
we had sunshine and it was warm 25 in Glasgow, 27 Attlee on Solent | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
Just 14 under this cloud back. We've had quite a brisk breeze and | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
torrential rain at times. Thunderstorms across East Anglia, | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
Essex and Kent. Parts of London That's meandering at the moment It | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
is edging into Lincolnshire, parts of Yorkshire. It is going to bring | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
further downpours throughout the evening. Nasty conditions on the | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
roads with spray and warm. Elsewhere bar the odd shower, a drier, clearer | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
night. Mist and fog around. A chilly in the Scottish glens. Fog for the | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
East Coast. Sea fog could plague eastern areas tomorrow. More cloud | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
as the rain slowly eases away. It is quite dry, but by the end of | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
tomorrow, the rain for the weekend is knocking on the | :08:43. | :08:43. |
