Williams estimated that more than 25,000 people visited for the festival, citing information from accommodation providers. TTT reports his view that food, beverage and accommodation businesses benefited. These are his assessment and estimate, not an independently measured visitor total or business-revenue survey.
He praised the airbridge and seabridge arrangements and said the Chamber wants the event eventually to be driven mainly by the private sector. His comments set out a business-sector proposal; they do not establish that the THA has agreed to transfer responsibility or publish a timetable for doing so.
