From Times Wire Reports

Businesses are cutting rates and handing out restaurant coupons to lure visitors back to South Bass Island, the resort in Lake Erie where hundreds of visitors have been stricken by an unidentified gastrointestinal illness. The outbreak peaked in early August.

The island normally draws about 500,000 people annually to its inns, wineries, beaches and bars. Investigators have not yet pinpointed the cause of the illnesses.
