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:
Campaigners against offshore windfarm proposals hit out at 'undemocratic' process
Concerns over consultation, 'bullying' tactics and restrictions on MHKs
Visitors told to prepare for new ETA rules
Electronic Travel Authorisations to be enforced from 23 April
