400 fewer have registered for the scheme in comparison to 2019
There's hope that more homes will be registered to the Isle of Man TT Homestay now that Covid-19 rules have relaxed.
Nigel Jones, the director of MiQuando Limited, which runs the homestay for the department of enterprise says the number of homes registered are 400 less than 2019.
He blamed covid-19 and the uncertainty of whether the TT was going ahead as a reason for the low response:
