Encouraging publicity for Festival of Motorcycling

Thursday, 31 October 2013 00:00

Positive media coverage of the first Isle of Man Festival of Motorcycling could generate more visitors to the Island.

All of the UK's main motorcycle media attended the event earlier this year and their work is now hitting the shelves.

Among others, the Classic Bike Magazine carried a 26-page feature on the road racing festival.

It's hoped that the positive coverage will also increase commercial revenue.

Laurence Skelly has political responsibility for motorsport – he says it's all about getting the message out:
