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:
Figures show cost of works at Ramsey and District Cottage Hospital
Jump in routine and urgent maintenance costs
Warning after drone reported flying over farm
Police issue reminder about rules surrounding piloting unmanned aircrafts
French tall ship returns to the sea
La Malouine is back 'where she belongs'
Charity hosting singing workshop today
Monthly event continues at Roundhouse
"We carry flip flops for those in high heels"
