CAPTIVA ISLAND, FL -


Captiva Island was in the spotlight Saturday when the Travel Channel filmed the island to be part of their show on unique Christmas events across the country.

It is the 3rd Annual Golf Cart Parade that has brought the cameras to Captiva.

"When we get these national press pieces like this, the phone rings off the hook," said Ric Base, Sanibel-Captiva Chamber of Commerce.

Season isn't even in full swing yet, but the Sanibel-Captiva Chamber of Commerce says business is already the best it's been in more than a decade. 

"We suffered through the oil spill, and Charlie and all that... and now we seem to come on the other side and things are going very well," Base said.

Once the travel channel's show airs, tourism is expected to pick up even more.
