Hopes staycations & air bridges will help Island visitor economy

It's hoped staycations, potential air bridges and the gradual reopening of borders will help the Island's visitor economy start to recover from later this year.

That's according to government after it announced this year's Classic TT and Manx Grand Prix have been called off.

Officials say the eventual relaxing of restrictions in line with the Isle of Man's Covid-19 exit strategy will over time bring 'much missed' visitors back to Manx shores.

Meanwhile, the next Classic TT and MGP has been scheduled for Sunday, August 21 to Friday, September 2, 2022.
