If there's time, it's usually better to get the a/c on the runway to vacate than send the landing a/c around.....think about how much fuel (and time) will be used by the aircraft doing a missed approach and rejoining the approach sequence compared to the fuel and time used by an a/c taxying another few hundred metres off the runway and back to the holding point.
