Port McNeill continues to enjoy another banner year for tourism, with numbers at the visitor centre up significantly from last year.
In a report to town council this week, Community Development and Engagement Manager Chris Woo reports that the total number of visitors in 2024 is nearly 30% higher than last year, with more than 2,500 individuals and 1,700 groups checking out the Port McNeill visitor centre.
Woo says there has been a steady influx of visitors from all over the globe. The majority are from BC, but there has been a large influx of visitors from Europe, and others from Canada and the United States.
Tourism on the North Island has steadily recovered in recent years, and numbers are now higher than before the pandemic.
