Destination Cape Breton says 2016 has been a strong year for tourism on the island. The number of visitors to Cape Breton for the first seven months of 2016 is up 14 percent from the same period last year. The site Cape Breton if Donald Trump Wins, which invited Americans to do just that, went viral this spring. The website linked online visitors with other information about Cape Breton, including sites promoting the island as a tourism destination. "The images of Cape Breton and the videos of Cape Breton have been shown extensively, and with that we really did propel a strong interest."
