Economic value of TT to be investigated

Consultation opened by Cabinet Office

Do the TT and Festival of Motorcycling add value to the Manx economy?

Is your business affected in a good or bad way by the events?

Some of the questions being posed by the Isle of Man Cabinet Office in a consultation which has been launched in the wake of the Vision Nine report debated in Tynwald in January.

It's thought the events are a gold mine for some but for others they represent disruption.

An assumption often aired but with no figures available to measure the true economic impact.

Bodies associated with road racing will be approached but the investigation wants to hear from businesses and people with both positive and negative views.

Evidence can be given via the consult.gov.im webpage with a deadline of Friday 18 May.

Financial evidence submitted will be treated in the strictest confidence and respondents may be contacted later in the year.
