Tourism is one of the biggest economic sectors in the region. In a regular year, about 230 people work at restaurants and accommodations here in Chéticamp, that’s about 4.5% of the population. Not to mention every other local business that benefits from the flow of tourists. Because of the pandemic, this season will be different. Destination Cape Breton is expecting about 75% fewer visitors this year. We caught up with Billy Doucet, owner of Le Gabriel, to see how his restaurant is coping. Later in the segment, we have an interview with Terry Smith, CEO of Destination Cape Breton.
