Hotels in Harbour City report bookings up eighteen per cent on last year for the coming festival season, helped by new direct flights from three European cities.
The tourism office said visitors are staying longer and spending more in local restaurants and shops.
Smaller suppliers in the region are expected to benefit, as many contracts will be awarded to local firms.
The company will present further details to investors at its annual meeting in the spring.
