Tim Johnston welcomes investment in accommodation on the Island
The enterprise minister says he's optimistic but not complacent following a 'challenging' period for the tourism sector.
Tim Johnston told Manx Radio there's been a five percent increase in visitor numbers since pre-Covid.
Data released last year shows some areas of the accommodation sector had occupancy levels of below 60 percent in summer 2024.
