Maritime tourism operators hoping to salvage summer season


 
SYDNEY, N.S. --
The May long weekend is typically when many tourism operators see visitors and bookings start to rise, but very few are making vacation plans yet.
The summer months bring out the beauty in Cape Breton island, along with big business for tourism operators.
But for the second straight year, COVID-19 is creating a lot of uncertainty over what the summer tourism season will bring.
“In 2019 it was great,” says Terri Shobbrook, owner of a bed and breakfast in Kempt Head, N.S. “There has hardly been anything since then. I went from 100 per cent occupancy, to about 1 per cent. It’s sad.”
