Over 750 properties are currently registered for next year's Homestay Scheme.

That's according to Enterprise Minister Lawrie Hooper, who says that 393 are currently confirmed to operate for the TT.

Speaking in the House of Keys, Mr Hooper added that the situation will be monitored to make sure there's enough accommodation on Island to meet visitor demand.

Earlier this month IoM Homestay announced it was "actively looking for more Isle of Man properties".
