            Nearly 91 percent of the Misery Bay Park visitors were from off the Island this year.  Many were return visitors.  It is likely that the statistics for last year would have been similar had they been gathered.  It is clear that these summer visitors have a significant impact on the economy of Manitoulin Island.  The comments written in the guest logs were uniformly very positive, except for several statements expressing the wish that the Centre had been open every day during the season.  Word of mouth endorsements of pleasant experiences on the Island are likely among the most effective of advertisements.  These guests become Manitoulin ambassadors.
