Video report by Serena Sandhu
Guernsey is continuing to attract people from all around the world to live on the island.
Last year, Locate Guernsey - which helps people and businesses move to the island - assisted with 45 relocations across the year, a rise of 17 from 2020.
31 of these were couples or families choosing to move and 14 involved businesses.
The agency receives enquiries from people living in the UK but also Asia, South Africa, North America and Europe.
Jo Stoddart, Director of Locate Guernsey said: "Guernsey has many compelling reasons which attract businesses and individuals to our shores.
"Amongst other things, we are a safe, stable, independent jurisdiction with an enviable work-life-balance.
"The Covid pandemic has caused many people to re- examine what is most important to them and as a result of this reflection, to re-arrange their priorities.
"The fact that it's a really safe, stable and secure environment. There is very low crime, there is a lot of benefits for Guernsey and people really appreciate the fresh air and the natural beauty of the place.
"You can have a much better work-life balance than if you were living on the mainland. And people have realised since the pandemic that there are other things that are a lot more important to them.
"The team continues to promote Guernsey internationally and we anticipate 2022 will be another busy year."
