Mackinac Island Prospects For Low Cost Recreation
Islanders see Mackinac as offering affordable lodging and meals compared with elsewhere yet limited by supply. Residents urge statewide ad campaigns to draw Middle West travelers and consider low cost options like shuffleboard or open air dancing to attract moderate incomes. A day visit is worthwhile with a likely return.
