The cancellation of next month's Rally Isle of Man will cost the Manx hotel industry a six-figure sum.
That's the view of Douglas hotelier Dave Mackey, whose own business - the Ascot - is set for a hit of between £5,000 and £6,000 in lost bookings.
He says the whole situation is very disappointing, and many questions need to be answered:
Fundraiser for TT rider Maria Costello surpasses £220k
Motorsport legend is currently paralysed after breaking her back
Warmer than average May for Island
239 hours of sunshine recorded in the month
Manx BirdLife awarded funding for new warden
Over £28,000 provided by Dormant Asset Fund
Increased DfE support 'to tackle rising costs and global pressures'
Expanded eligibility and increased funding for support schemes
Police appeal after two motorcycles involved in collision
Incident saw Tholt-Y-Will backroad closed for several hours
