MHK insists given circumstances figures are 'fantastic'
It's expected that this years TT will see fewer visitors than previously.
The MHK with political responsibility for tourism has predicted the Island will see up to a thousand less visitors travelling by boat than was seen in 2019.
Numbers of those travelling by air are not currently known due to the continued disruption of flights.
Rob Callister says there are a number of reasons why this may be the case:

Peel bar impacted by bus strikes
Care funding reform report delayed following ministerial change
Charity plans baby loss memorial garden at Noble's Hospital
New rights for neonatal care leave and carer's leave on the way
Manx Wildlife Trust launches new internship programme
