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:

No increase in domestic gas prices for rest of 2026
Law targeting sale of nicotine pouches takes step further
Procurement process for Kirk Onchan Post Office continuing
Bus station will not be moved to the Sea Terminal
Forum explores what domestic abuse looks like on the Isle of Man
