MACKINAC ISLAND, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – The tourism business on Michigan’s Mackinac Island bounced back in a big way this year, after a drop in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
While the island’s overall hotel room revenue for the 2021 season is still being totaled, but through September 1 it was on pace to smash the record year it saw in 2019, when revenue topped $74.56 million.
Shepler’s Ferry operator Chris Shepler told the Detroit Free Press that the summer “was out of control” for the ferry service that shuttles visitors to the island in the Straits of Mackinac.
