Loss of trade not just down to lack of TT
A lack of business trips to the Isle of Man is impacting the restaurant trade.
That's according to a member of the Isle of Man Restaurateurs Association as the hospitality industry calls for more support from government.
TT week would normally have been the busiest of the year for many Manx pubs and restaurant.
Enzo Ciapelli, who also runs Enzo's Restaurant, says it's not just the loss of racing fans that's affecting takings:
