'Move to IOM' beermats and leaflets cost £1,600

A government agency spent around £1600 on TT handouts this year to persuade people to move to the Island.

A Freedom of Information request asked how much beermats and other items for Locate Isle of Man had cost to hand out during the motorsport festival.

In its response, the Department for Enterprise said it bought 30,000 beer mats for just under £2,000 last year - and handed out 2,000 of them around the Island in TT 2024.

It also spent just over £1,500 on leaflets and postcards to give to visitors.
