Tourism chief buoyed by latest visitor figures
Tourism bosses say a rise in visitor numbers last year is ‘heartening’.
Statistics from the government show the number of people visiting the Isle of Man rose by 3.8 per cent over the course of last year.
The data, gathered in the government’s annual passenger survey, shows more than 287,500 people came to the Island last year.
Head of Tourism Angela Byrne says it's a vital economic sector:
