Newfoundland & Labrador Tourism15,000 VISITORS = AN ESTIMATED $1.5 MILLION IN COMMUNITY ECONOMIC ACTIVITY.

During our 2026 season, the #2 Mine Tour & Museum proudly welcomed approximately 15,000 visitors to Bell Island.

Based on an estimated local expenditure of $100 per visitor, those visits represent approximately $1.5 million in direct visitor spending connected to our community.

That spending supports more than one attraction. It reaches museum operations, local employment, restaurants, shops, transportation providers, suppliers & other community businesses & services.

For Bell Island, 15,000 visitors is much more than an attendance figure. It means economic activity, employment, community pride & new opportunities for growth.

As one of Newfoundland and Labrador’s outstanding cultural heritage attractions, the #2 Mine Tour & Museum is not only preserving & sharing the remarkable story of Bell Island, we are helping strengthen its future.

Thank you to every visitor, employee, volunteer, board director, partner & community business that contributed to an extraordinary 2026 season.

Heritage is not simply about remembering our past. It is an investment in our people, our community & our future.

Economic activity is an estimate based on average local visitor spending of $100 per person.
