Abstract
Abstract This chapter identifies several negative social, cultural and environmental impacts brought about by degrowth of tourism on the Isle of Man, UK. It is pointed out that although the local economy has successfully transitioned to new industries, mainly offering financial services to the international wealthy and global business, the vernacular architecture, community facilities and natural landscapes have been undermined by the loss of tourist interest. Also, the sense of peripherality has been increased as tourism driven connections and exchanges have been lost. For this reason it is argued that in the case of the Isle of Man cautions against the downsides of tourism degrowth should be taken and degrowth needs to be carefully managed if the negative consequences of degrowth are to be appreciated and mitigated.
