The Island's two main motorcycling festivals contributed over £30m to the local economy according to Government figures.

The Department for Enterprise says the TT races and Isle of Man Festival of Motorcycling saw increases in visitors in 2017, with a combined spend of £44m.

The Department estimates the two events attracted 3000 more visitors compared to 2016.

A study into those visiting for the Festival of Motorcycling found the average visitor stayed for seven nights, while more than 70% had visited for the Festival before.
