mackinac's character already is "summer tourism destination".
the island has a permanent population of ~500 people, but i've heard that on summer weekends the population swells as high as 25,000 people including all the day-trippers, tourists, cottagers, and summer workers.
300 extra people are not going to radically upset that balance.
