Survey shows rise in visitor numbers
The Chief Minister says the Island's safety is a contributing factor to increasing visitor numbers.
Leisure tourists rose to more than 130,000 in 2015, a 3.8% hike from the previous year.
Numbers from the Isle of Man passenger survey suggests the total spent by visitors was £108.8m.
