Reliance on TT income to survive the year
There are fears some hospitality businesses, which are particularly reliant on income from the TT races, face an uncertain future even with government funding available.
TT and Motorsport Development Manager Paul Phillips says it's well documented the sector has been hit hard with the borders shut and no visitor income during the Covid-19 pandemic.
He says he has witnessed the impact of not staging the Island's biggest event on various outlets:-
